La Forza Del Destino
2025-10-11 19:00 - 22:00 | Teatru Tal-Opra Aurora, Triq ir-Repubblika, Victoria, Gozo, Malta
La Forza del Destino is opera at its most theatrical—where no one is truly who they seem. A nobleman masquerades as a student, a South American dons the identity of a Spanish soldier, and a noblewoman takes on both male attire and the solemn robes of a hermit. In their desperate attempts to flee destiny, they all transform—revealing that costume and identity are central to Verdi’s gripping tale.
This deep connection between disguise and fate is powerfully brought to life in Riccardo Buscarini’s bold new production. With evocative sets by Giammaria Farina, expressive costumes by Mara Pieri, and atmospheric lighting by Moritz Zavan Stoeckle, every visual element reinforces the opera’s emotional core.
But La Forza is also a feast for the ears—brimming with sweeping arias and thunderous choruses. At the helm is Colin Attard, masterfully conducting the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra, the Aurora Opera Chorus, and an international ensemble of outstanding opera voices.
