Set across the magnificent backdrop of mid-18th century Spain, Verdi's sweeping masterpiece finds the beautiful Leonora agreeing to elope with Don Alvaro. Her father, the Marquis, having heard noises from Leonora's room, runs to protect her, sword drawn. Alvaro throws his pistol to the floor as a sign of surrender, but the pistol accidentally goes off, fatally wounding the Marquis. The Force of Destiny is set into motion.
Leonora, separated from Alvaro while fleeing from the scene of her father's death, goes to a monastery to spend the rest of her life in repentance. Her brother, Don Carlo, vows revenge on the lovers. And when the three eventually cross paths, it is for one final, fatal time.
Experience all of the drama, and find out how the story ends, during the May Festival premiere concert presentation of
La Forza del Destino.
