Online opera guide & synopsis to Verdi’s LA FORZA DEL DESTINO

La forza del destino is one of three Spanish operas (Don Carlo, Forza del destino, Il Trovatore) by Verdi, all of which enter the heroic-historical world of the grand opéra. It can justifiably be counted among the great works of Verdi. The many magnificent duets between Alvaro and Caro, the religious scenes of Leonora and the colourful supporting roles of Preziosilla, Guardiano and Fra Melitone characterise this opera. Verdi’s musical themes are grandiose and he uses them as leitmotifs throughout the opera for the first time.
