Karen,
you'll need to take that up with Janet Baker. She was Maria to Rosalind
Plowright's Elisabetta with the ENO.
Cindy Donnell

The main aria for Elisabetta in MARIA STUARDA is "Ah! Quando all'ara".

While I've heard mezzos sing the role of Elisabetta, I have never heard of
a mezzo singing the role - or the arias - written for Maria in this opera.
I don't think doing so would be considered "kosher".
