Carmina Burana Orff

The stage cantata "Carmina Burana" is on everyone's lips: the epic power and mysterious Latin lyrics of the opening chorus "O Fortuna" have fascinated the film industry, rock musicians and TV show creators for many years.
Translated from Latin "Carmina Burana" means "Boyern's songs." It was in the Boyerne Benedictine monastery, which has existed since the 8th century, that the manuscript that received this name was discovered in 1803. This is a collection of more than 250 poems created during the XI-XIII centuries. Most of them are written in Latin, the language of international communication between the clergy and educated people of that era, but there are also texts in medieval German and French. Almost all of them are far from religious themes and mainly talk about the joys and sorrows of earthly life, in which there is a place for carnal love, and drinking, and gambling
In 1934, the edition of selected excerpts from Carmina Burana fell into the hands of the composer Karl Orff, a researcher of early European music and a connoisseur of Latin poetry. Together with the Latinist Michel Hoffmann (1903-1968), Orff selected 23 poems and arranged them in a closed cycle dedicated to the most powerful and mysterious force that controls human life - the force of fate. The resulting structure consists of five sections: "In the spring", "In the tavern", "Joy of love" and repeating at the beginning and end "Fortune is the ruler of the world." Each of them literally or metaphorically shows how the wheel of fortune turns, turning joy into sorrow, and hope into despair - and vice versa.
In 1937, the first performance of the stage cantata Carmina Burana for soloists, three choirs and a large orchestra premiered at the Frankfurt Opera House. It was a large-scale theatrical performance with costumes, scenery, stage movement and dances - this is exactly how Karl Orff wanted to see his brainchild, who had thought in terms of theater all his life.
In 1956, Orff's student Wilhelm Killmeier (1927-2017) made an arrangement of Carmina Burana for soloists, two choirs, two grand pianos and percussion instruments. Orff approved and approved this version. It will be performed on the Small Stage of the Samara Academic Opera and Ballet Theater.
The performance is attended by soloists and the choir of the Samara Academic Opera and Ballet Theater, students of the children's choir school.
