Since their great and extremely successful performance in Wagner's "Lohengrin" at the Bavarian State Opera, Anja Harteros and Jonas Kaufmann have been considered the perfect opera couple. In Giuseppe Verdi's "La forza del destino" the two returned to the stage as lovers desperately trying to overcome the power of fate and be together.
Her performance at the Munich Opera Festival received "explosive applause for the new heights of singing" (dpa).
Verdi's opera combines three themes that have always been at the center of human history and are still relevant today: class segregation, racial prejudice and hysterical warfare. The noble Leonora, the daughter of a marquise, is forbidden to be with Alvaro, the man she loves, because he is descended from the Inca people and therefore not equated with her in social status. The third element, aggressive military madness and the horrors of war, are quickly revealed to be nowhere near as entertaining and cheerful as the gypsy Preziosilla would have everyone believe. In a world as cruel as this, the two desperate and desolate lovers finally come to the conclusion that even the church cannot offer a way out.

With "La forza del destino" Verdi created a pioneering masterpiece in form and content.
Anja Harteros formed the radiant heart of the production, so to speak, "the effect of her angelic 'piano' is overwhelming" (Münchner Merkur). Thanks to her wonderful voice and the sheer power of her great performance, she could celebrate nothing but a triumph: "No one else can die so beautifully today, can act so intensely." (SZ). Jonas Kaufmann is the ideal choice for Alvaro: "Nowadays he is rightly called unique because there is no other tenor who sings, acts and creates so perfectly" (Die Welt). French baritone Ludovic Tezier's performance of Don Carlo was "a dramatic and dark, fundamental event"

Under the insightful, prudent and psychological direction of Martin Kušej, the Bavarian State Opera Choir sang with "elegance and precision". The Bavarian State Orchestra, conducted by Asher Fisch, also played beautifully, richly in detail and with a beautiful sound (FAZ). Vitalij Kovalev as the noble Pater Guardiano/Marquise von Calatrava, Nadia Krasteva as the fiery Preziosilla, and Renato Girolami as the tragicomic Fra Melitone round off this first-class ensemble and leave absolutely nothing to be desired for opera lovers.
