Preview of the Met’s Live in HD La Forza del Destino
Abby Kreh Gibson will do a brief Zoom overview of Giuseppe Verdi’s La Forza del Destino – the force or power of destiny – on Wednesday, March 6 at 5:30 PM. Verdi called it “an opera of vast dimensions”. He also called it “an opera of ideas” and filled it with a wide range of characters and emotions. It is the Metropolitan Opera’s first new production of this opera in nearly 30 years and stars the Norwegian soprano, Lise Davidsen.
The HD Broadcast can be seen locally at the Foothills Performing Arts & Civic Center, 24 Market Street, Oneonta, and at Munson in Utica at noon on March 9, 2024.
