Scenic cantata "Carmina Burana" on the stage of the Great Hall of the Conservatory

On March 25, the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory will feature a performance by the State Kremlin Orchestra and the State Academic Choral Chapel of Russia named after A.A. Yurlov of one of the most epic and mesmerizing works of world classical music — the scenic cantata «Carmina Burana» by Carl Orff. The majestic masterpiece of the German classic will also be performed by soloists David Sanikidze (tenor), Andrey Beletsky (baritone), and Elizaveta Narsiya (soprano). One of the most sought-after Russian conductors, Konstantin Chudovsky, will take the conductor's podium this evening.

The medieval Latin text combined with the composer's brilliant music has become a true bestseller, each time overwhelming the listener with its powerful and exceptional force. The primal magic of the repeating rhythms of the opening chorus «O Fortuna», dedicated to the fickle will of the goddess of fortune, is known even to the most uninitiated listener: the grandiose rolls of the cantata's first sounds are widely used in world cinema and advertising, as well as during sporting events and large-scale spectacle shows.
