 Opera by Giuseppe Verdi in concert form. Conductor: Alexandru Samoilă. Stage Derictor: Denis Petrov-Zherebchenko. The opera La forza del destino was premiered almost 160 years ago, on October 29, 1862 in the Bolshoi (Kamenny) Theatre of Saint Petersburg. It was the only composition Verdi wrote on commission from a Russian theatre. The public found the plot gloomy and the music too complicated, so for the premiere at La Scala (1869) a second edition was made, which was later successfully produced on other world stages. Hate and love, class inequality and fate are the most important themes in Verdi’s operas. In La forza del destino racial bias is added to these. That year, in the Grand Hall of the Moscow Conservatory the opera was performed in concert. And in the year of the 75th anniversary of Evgeny Kolobov’s birth, the Novaya Opera Theatre that he founded presents a concert performance of Verdi’s famous opera. The performance will be conducted by Evgeny Kolobov’s colleague, friend and classmate in Mark Paverman’s class at the Urals Conservatory, People’s Artist of the Republic of Moldova Alexandru Samoilă.
