Opera in four acts (1862)
New Production! La Scala’s gala season opening is always a glittering affair, and a highlight of the international arts calendar.
This year an extraordinarily prestigious cast that includes Anna Netrebko, Jonas Kaufmann and Ludovic Tézier assembles for a new production of Verdi’s grand tale of ill-fated love The Force of Destiny, directed by Leo Muscato.
Riccardo Chailly conducts a work that offers some of Verdi’s most memorable melodies, including its haunting overture, the rousing 'Rataplan' march and
Leonora's soaring prayer, 'La vergine degli angeli'.
