____

Disobedient, rowdy, and loads of fun, Carl Orff’s massive cantata, Carmina Burana—for large symphony orchestra, large chorus, and soloists—rocks the Rozsa Center for an evening of unbridled ecstasy. With music set to 24 satirical poems from the 11th and 12th centuries, Orff’s very modern choral-orchestral masterpiece (composed in 1936) starts and ends with the wild refrain, “O Fortuna,” popularized in numerous films and commercials.
