The immortal creation of Carl Orff on the stage of the Turkiston Palace of Arts in a grandiose show in which the “witchcraft music” of Carmina Burana will be illustrated with video installations and the colossal sound power of 150 choir and orchestra artists!
Carmina Burana (lat. Carmina Burana) is a masterpiece of the 20th century and a mysterious work, one of a kind (first performance - June 8, 1937).
The Burana Codex, a manuscript and great monument of the Renaissance, contained the notes and poems of 12th-century vagantes and wandering monks. According to legend, the author-monk devoted his entire life to serving God, and at the end of his days he looked back at life and saw that God had nothing to do with it - the world was ruled by fickle fortune. Composer Carl Orff chose 24 songs and wrote ingenious, hypnotic melodies of inhuman beauty for them - grandiose choral passages, Gregorian chants and an orchestra with powerful drums in classical music.
A drawing of a wheel was found on the first page of the Burana Codex. It contained four phrases written on the wheel: “I will reign, I reign, I reigned, I am without a kingdom”! The Wheel of Fortune turns, happiness turns into sadness, and hope gives way to grief.
Life goes on, the wheel of Fortune turns!
