Carmina Burana

Terme di Caracalla - stagione estiva 2022, ph. Fabrizio Sansoni-Opera di Roma

The majestic Baths of Caracalla host Carl Orff's most famous creation, which, on 7 August, closes the Caracalla Festival 2025, the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma's summer season.  

The evocative scenic cantata is based on a poems anthology, written in Late Latin, Medieval German and Old French, discovered in the monastery of Benedikbeuern in Bavaria, which the German composer set to music in the mid-1930s, creating an overwhelming and magical work whose complete title is ‘Carmina burana: Cantiones profanae cantoribus et choris cantandae, comitantibus instrumentis atque imaginibus magicis’.

In the spirit of the Festival, the work explores themes between ‘’the Sacred and the Human‘’ - destiny, spiritual and sensual love, nature, and the pleasures of life - to the extraordinary notes of Orff, which combine choral power, hypnotic rhythms and medieval echoes, as in the iconic piece O Fortuna, the soundtrack of numerous films, shows and commercials.  

On stage are the soprano Giuliana Gianfaldoni, the tenor Levy Sekgapane and the baritone Vito Priante, together with the Chorus and Orchestra of the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, conducted respectively by Ciro Visco and the Venezuelan Diego Matheuz, already on the podium of the ancient baths for Bernstein's Mass in 2022.
