Welsh National Opera Workshop La Forza del Destino Saturday 10 October 2 30pm £2 (students £1.50)
The second of five WNO workshops at Amolfini is about the company’s production of Verdi’s opera. Verdi learned from Shakespeare to mix grotesque comedy with tragedy, and to ignore the classical rules for the sake of greater dramatic truth. The workshop is led by Julian Budden, an authority on Verdi, and he is joined by the conductor Richard Armstrong in a discussion of the origins and different version of this masterpiece.
