Set to the powerful music of German composer Carl Orff, Carmina Burana tells the story of the cycle of life and love. The ballet us divided into three sections, the Wheel of Fortune, The Taberna, and the Court of Love, which follow a couple as their relationship evolves. Based on original poems written by Bavarin monks in the 11th to 13th centries, Carmina Burana is a reflection of the highs and lows of like and the changes in the seasons bringing rebirth. Choreography by Victoria Ballet's Artistic Director Paul Destrooper complrments the passion of the story, highlighting both the strength and technique of the dancers.
