With La forza del destino, Verdi broke new ground in the 1860s. The title itself refers to this paradigm shift, as it does not refer to the name of a character or a historical event, but rather evokes the universal concept of the «power of fate». Accordingly, the composer wrote a four-act opera that is a drama of ideas, dealing with the fate of entire social classes and peoples. Building on this, director Frank Castorf creates connections to the Spanish Civil War of the 20th century and the fight against fascism in the Second World War, weaving the individual fates of the characters with the horrors of colonial history. In this production by the veteran enfant terrible of the Berlin theatre scene, the «triangle of fate» is embodied this time by an internationally sought-after trio consisting of Guanqun Yu (Leonora) and the two house debutants Luciano Ganci (Don Alvaro) and Igor Golovatenko (Don Carlos). Massimo Zannetti, a frequent guest at the Berlin State Opera in the past, makes his debut at the Deutsche Oper with this revival.

Artists/Collaborators: Frank Castorf (Regie), Massimo Zanetti (Musikalische Leitung), Aleksandar Denić (Bühnenbild), Adriana Braga Peretzki (Kostüme), Lothar Baumgarte (Licht), Kathrin Krottenthaler (Video-Design und Live-Kamera), Andreas Deinert (Video-Design und Live-Kamera), Maryvonne Riedelsheimer (Video-Design und Live-Kamera), Marco Medved (Choreinstudierung), Jörg Königsdorf (Dramaturgie), Tobias Kehrer (Marchese von Calatrava), Guanqun Yu (Donna Leonora), Pavel Yankovsky (Don Carlos di Vargas), Luciano Ganci (Don Alvaro), Vitalij Kowaljow (Pater Guardian), Artur Garbas (Fra Melitone), Kristina Stanek (Preziosilla), Lauryn Davis (Curra), Padraic Rowan (Alkalde), Michael J.
