April 18, 2026 Carmina Burana

O Fortuna! "Everything I have written so far and which you have unfortunately printed can now be pulped! Carmina Burana marks the beginning of my collected works!" Orff wrote to his publisher after the premiere in 1937. Did he already suspect at that time that his work would become one of the most popular pieces of serious music? In addition to approximately 20 performances per month worldwide, his cantata has been featured in an incredible 90 film soundtracks—his Carmina Burana, set to music from a medieval manuscript from the Benedictbeuern monastery. The evening opens with the Polovtsian Dances and the spirited ode to the Portuguese-Brazilian singer Carmen Miranda.
