Join us for an extraordinary evening on Monday, August 17, 2026, at 20:00 in the beautiful Brunnenhof of the Munich Residence, as we present Carl Orff's monumental masterpiece, Carmina Burana. This musical spectacle will be performed live by the esteemed Venezia Festival Opera, featuring a grand choir, soloists, and orchestra, all coming together to create a powerful auditory experience that resonates with both the heart and the senses.

The performance will begin with the iconic opening notes of O Fortuna, signaling an event that transcends a conventional concert. It is a dramatic ritual that explores fundamental human themes of love, joy, and fate, encapsulated in Orff's explosive rhythms and emotive melodies.

Originally composed in 1937, Orff's work draws upon medieval texts discovered in Benediktbeuern, celebrating life's pleasures, love, and the whims of fate with passionate and earthy language. Orff's music transforms these themes into a rhythmically vibrant and emotionally charged soundscape that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

The Venezia Festival Opera, renowned for its high-quality performances, will bring this concert to life with a remarkable ensemble of soloists, including tenor Oscar de la Torre, soprano Plamena Girginova, and baritone Aleksander Krunev. Under the musical direction of Nayden Todorov, conductor of the Sofia National Philharmonic Orchestra, the performance promises to be a dynamic and powerful rendition.

This concert is designed to be a sensory experience where music elicits intense emotions. Do not miss the opportunity to witness this masterpiece of music history live, in its purest form, and make it an unforgettable evening.
