Synopsis

La forza del Destino

---

For La forza del destino, Verdi created one of his most famous melodies, the "fate" motif that permeates the whole of the score. Music and action alternate in masterly fashion between large-scale crown scenes and intimate interiority, in that way illustrating Verdi's real them: the manner in which fallible human beings are destroyed by a cruel fate.
