This tragic opera in two acts is based loosely on the life of Anne Boleyn, Queen of England and second wife of Henry VIII. Its premiere in Rome in 1830 was an enormous success and marked the beginning of composer Gaetano Donizetti's international fame.  

King Henry is in love with Jane Seymour. He wants to divorce Anne and marry Jane. Falsely accused and condemned as an adulteress, Anne loses her reason. American dramatic coloratura soprano Beverly Sills sings the title role. Mezzo soprano Shirley Verrett interprets Giovanna Seymour and bass Paul Plishka the part of King Henry. The London Symphony Orchestra and John Alldis Chorus are conducted by Julius Rudel. 

本歌劇是以享利八世的第二任妻子，英女皇安娜•波萊娜的生平而寫成的兩幕悲劇。作品1830年首演時獲得空前成功，標誌著唐尼采第步上國際舞台。這邊廂君王享利和Jane Seymour互生情愫，享利更想與安娜離婚而另娶；那邊廂安娜被誣蔑通奸而失去理智，更被帶去處決。美國花腔女高音蕭斯、女中音維利娣、男低音皮連殊卡三人盡演箇中三角關係，同台演出還有路迪所指揮的倫敦交響樂團和約翰奧迪斯合唱團。
