	In 1860, Tamberlik wrote to [[Giuseppe Verdi]] in the name of the Imperial Theatres' Directorate asking him to write an opera for [[Saint Petersburg]]. [[Verdi]] accepted, and by August 1861 he had embarked on the composition of ''La forza del destino''. Within three months the opera was ready, and in December 1861 [[Verdi]] travelled to the Russian ~~imperial~~ capital with his second wife, the singer Giuseppina Strepponi, in order to supervise the preliminary rehearsals. However, because of problems with the casting ''La forza del destino'' was not premiered until the following season, at the [[Saint Petersburg]] Bolshoi Kamennyi Theatre, on 10/22 November 1862. The premiere took place in [[Verdi]]'s presence, with Tamberlik creating the role of Don Alvaro, but it met with a rather cool reception from the Russian public, and even more so from the critics and professional musicians who resented the fact that the Italian maestro was paid 22,000 rubles for his opera whereas Russian composers could not receive more than 500.
