| Description | Carmina Burana, April 29-May 1, 2011 Jackson Hall at TPAC
The “Bravos” were overwhelming when Vasterling’s 2009 production of Carmina Burana debuted, and The Ballet will present an encore performance for the finale of our 25th season. This ballet is larger than life with Nashville Ballet, The Nashville Symphony, The Nashville Symphony Chorus, The Nashville Children’s Choir, and guest vocalists, all joining forces to present the family-friendly Carmina Burana! The dancers are front and center with the chorus raised up above the stage and the symphony spills along the sides of the stage for an avalanche of pure sound and motion. German composer Carl Orff set these irreverent poems to music in 1936 and this popular score continues to live on through countless television commercials, film scores, and concert performances around the globe. The lyrics and movement portray life’s pleasures, love, spring, and the uncertainty of the fates. Based on Latin verses written by German monks who lived in the foothills of the Bavarian mountains, this music remains one of the most popular classic pieces today. Salvatore Aiello’s sensual The Afternoon of a Faun, set to the music of Claude Debussy, will open this performance.
