La Forza del Destino

The FSOC (Four Seasons Opera Club) March meeting was suppressed because the meeting coincided exactly with the Met Live in HD presentation of Verdi's "La Forza del Destino". Forza is one of Verdi's most powerful and beloved works so it seemed prudent to defer to the Met.

Consider a Met subscription to see their magnificent revival. The Met's "updated" version sets the action in an undefined region of central Europe and clearly attempts to comment on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Here is a version with English sub-titles from 1958 at Teatro San Carlo featuring Renata Tebaldi and Franco Corelli.
