Forza 3

Our last look at the game introduced the storefront concept, which will let you browse the creations of other Forza 3 players. Everything from paint jobs to tuning sets will be available here, and creators will be able to either give away their creations or set prices (and even the amount of stock available for sale) for anything they create. The “front page” of the storefront will highlight featured creators chosen by the Forza community team. And players will be able to rate any creations in the game, allowing the truly talented Forza 3 creators to rise to the top. You’ll even be able to bookmark your favorite creators so you can easily return to their pages to see what they’ve done.

Leonora, the passionate young girl choosing seclusion and life as a hermit to avoid the revenge of her brother and punish herself for her forbidden love with Alvaro and the death of her father, is one of the most tragic roles of the Verdian repertoire. It was also the first roles Maria Callas took up in her career. This recording with her mentor Tullio Serafin features an amazing cast and is one of the high points of the Verdi discography.

Andrea Bocelli After emerging in the late 20th century in a duet with Luciano Pavarotti, Italian vocalist Andrea Bocelli established himself as an enduring international star of both classical and pop music, even earning the label "the fourth tenor." With a rich tone that moves gracefully between powerful opera arias and tender pop balladry, Bocelli has charted in multiple countries with every album since his 1994 debut, Il Mare Calmo Della Sera. Often referred to as his fourth LP, the 1997 pop compilation Romanza marked his breakthrough in the U.K. and U.S. and topped the charts in over a dozen countries.

Giuseppe Verdi reiste 1862 nach St. Petersburg, um das Werk La forza del destino uraufzuführen, das vom dortigen kaiserlichen Theater in Auftrag gegeben worden war. Die Vorlage sprach den Sinn des Komponisten für tragische Intensität und die Unbarmherzigkeit des Schicksals an. Das lokale Publikum war sowohl an die italienische Oper des 18. Jahrhunderts als auch an die französische Grand Opéra gewöhnt, und so entstand ein Werk, das eine Synthese aus aristokratischem Drama und volkstümlicher Komödie darstellt. Im Jahr 1869 überarbeitete er das Werk so, dass es mit Tod und Verklärung endet. Diese von der Kritik bewunderte Produktion der überarbeiteten Fassung wird von Zubin Mehta dirigiert, in einer Neuinszenierung, die »von einigen brillanten Künstlern bereichert wurde« (Lyric Opera Journal).

Relentlessly pursued by Fate, Leonora in La forza del destino is a haunted heroine whose passions and fears are expressed on a grand scale. Callas’s stage experience of Forza was limited to her early career in Italy – in fact, Leonora was her first Verdi role – but, as Lord Harewood, founder of Opera magazine, observed, her recorded assumption exhibited ‘an unparalleled musical sensibility and imagination and a grasp of the musico-dramatic picture which is unique’. She took her place in a powerful cast conducted by her mentor Tullio Serafin.
