The Tanglewood Music Center is funded in part by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Note* Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) composed his opera Laforza del destino ("The force of destiny") in 1862 on a commission from the Imperial Theater of St. Petersburg, where it was first performed on 10 November 1862. The opera is based on a Spanish play so full of unlikely coincidences that it is hard to summarize the plot with a straight face.
