Carmina Burana, to be staged by the İstanbul State Opera and Ballet at the Atatürk Cultural Centre Türk Telekom Opera Hall, is presented to art enthusiasts as a "choreographic stage cantata" with a cast of approximately 250 people, including soloists, orchestra, choir, ballet artists, children's choir and ballet, Modern Dance İstanbul artists, and special design teams.
In this production, which will showcase the stage mathematics of the Atatürk Cultural Centre Türk Telekom Opera Hall, all the technical possibilities of the stage will be utilized. Audiences watching Carmina Burana will witness a performance where the revolving stage, transitions of the front and back wagons on the right and left, and each sofrito pipe (gridded ceiling used to move stage sets) will appear to be dancing simultaneously, with a time code given to each.
