La Forza Del Destino

In the first act of La Forza Del Destino, Leonora spends time with her lover, Alvaro, when her disapproving father, the Marquis of Calatrava, surprises them. A fight ensues, but Alvaro decides to act honorably and drop his gun in surrender. But the force of destiny is strong - the gun goes off and kills the Marquis.
