Carmina Burana

Ballet


Known as "Beuern Songs", "Carmina Burana" is a collection of 254 poems and dramatic texts from the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries, found in the Bavarian Library in Munich. It was set to music as a scenic cantata in 1936 by German composer Carl Orff, using selected texts from these works, and was first staged at the Frankfurt Opera on June 8, 1937. "Carmina Burana" is the first work of Carl Orff's Triumfi (Triumphs) trilogy and is based on Latin texts that express nature and love.

In terms of its content, "Carmina Burana" reflects the cultural and social life of 13th century Continental Europe. The songs, which are mostly written in Medieval Latin and some in Medieval German, are composed of rhythmic and metric structures.

The Istanbul State Opera and Ballet is bringing "Carmina Burana" to the stage with soloists, orchestra, choir, ballet, and modern dance direction and choreography. The production of "Carmina Burana" at the Atatürk Cultural Center Türk Telekom Opera Hall is set to transform into a visual feast with all the technical capabilities of the stage, and it holds the distinction of being a world premiere.
