Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci Meets Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana

Originally created by the Portland Opera, this production has been installed at Opera Companies across the United States.  Traditionally paired with other operas, Portland chose Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana and brought in the award-winning BodyVox Dance Troupe to choreograph and dance to the choral masterpiece.  

Check out the highlights of Pagliacci from HOT’s upcoming production of Pagliacci & Carmina Burana!

Hawaii Opera Theatre’s (HOT) production of Pagliacci & Carmina Burana is right around the corner!

This opera was originally created by the Portland Opera and HOT breaks new ground by bringing in a piece to Hawaii from another company for the first time.  Bodyvox, who provided dancers in the original production, will also be coming to Honolulu from Portland to reprise their role in bringing the music of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana to Life! 

“BodyVox is known for its visual virtuosity, distinctive wit and unique ability to combine dance, theater and film into breathtaking productions rich in imagery, athleticism and humor. Since its founding in 1997, BodyVox has toured to critical acclaim on stages around the world, developed 8 award winning films, 18 original shows and 3 operas, featuring nearly 200 original dances.” – (From www.BodyVox.com)

HOT is very excited to bring this production to the islands!

Performances will be held on March 28, 30, & April 1, 2014, at the Blaisdell Concert Hall. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling the HOT Box Office at (808) 596-7372.
