   • La Forza Del Destino. La Forze Del Destino contains some of Verdi’s most brilliant choral writing and several beautiful and intimate arias. Leonora’s father is accidentally shot dead by her lover, Don Alvaro.
   • Aida. Aida, one of Verdi’s best operas, is a timeless story of love and betrayal set in Ancient Egypt. This is Verdi’s grand opera to end all grand operas, featuring a potential cast of hundreds, and enough spectacles and set pieces to rival many a Cecil B. DeMille historical blockbuster.
   • Don Carlos. Don Carlos, based on Schiller’s dramatic play, is a tale of three generations of Spanish royalty. This opera was a turning point for Verdi who allowed the various strands of the plot to evolve with a naturalness, almost entirely avoiding the short-term, high-impact, thrills of his earlier work.
   • Falstaff. Totally free of the usual operatic set pieces and crowd-pleasing virtuoso numbers Falstaff, one of the greatest operatic comedies of all time and one of the best Verdi works, is composed of a seamless flow of musical poetics.
