Aa ballet evening consisting of two choreographies. The first will be written for Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, the second for Hector Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique.
Carl Orff's Carmina Burana is a stage cantata based on a medieval collection of songs of the same title. It is one of the most famous vocal and instrumental works of the 20th century, from which contemporary composers often draw inspiration.
Symphonie fantastique is Berlioz's most popular composition. It was written in 1830 and was intended to be a manifesto of the composer's artistic assumptions. It quickly became one of the most important musical works of early Romanticism. In his work, the composer included a story of an unhappy, unrequited love that he experienced.
