Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana joins Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci

Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, is considered by many to be a masterpiece and one of the best creations of the past century.   What began as a choral work has cemented itself in popular culture, having been drawn upon for inspiration and included in television, film, and other musical endeavors.

In 1997, Portland Opera took the beloved classic to another level, and brought in the acclaimed BodyVox Dance (also from Portland) to choreopgraph and dance to Carmina Burana. In the time since, the production has toured extensively and been installed at multiple Opera Companies across the United States.
