Ballett: Carmina Burana

The three-part ballet evening Carmina Burana is one of the greatest successes of Manuel Legris' management career with 52 performances to date, and was able to delight audiences and jury alike (Austrian Music Theater Award for Best Ballet Production, 2013).

In Carmina Burana, the combined participation of the choir, additional choir and children's choir of the Volksoper Wien proves to be especially effective, bringing to full development the power of Carl Orff's soundscape, which is oriented towards medieval stylistic elements. Through the combination of movement and music, the intention expressed by the composer in the term "Scenic Cantata" is impressively realized.

Historically even further back, the original creators took the afternoon of a faun that drew their inspiration from antique vase paintings.

Finally, the Bolero condenses the rhythmic as the "primordial cell" of dance and music, so Ravel said: "My masterpiece? The 'Boléro', of course. Too bad he does not have any music at all. "
