Carmina Burana, the world’s most popular piece of classical music, tells the story of the wheel of life and all that it brings; love and lust, life and death, rich and poor, power and poverty. This production marks the first time the tale behind the music has been acted out along with the music.
Almost unknown only 50 years ago, Carl Orff’s secular cantata Carmina Burana went on to become the most commercially successful classical composition of the 20th century.
Never seen before in the UK but enjoyed by over a million people across the rest of the world, Monumental Classics production of Carmina Burana aims to take the classical music experience to a new level. Franz Abraham, the creator of the production brings Carl Orff's masterpiece to life with over 250 performers including the world renowned Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Brighton Festival Chorus and Youth Choir, as well as dancers, actors and singers.
