Orff: Carmina Burana from Piazza San Marco, Venice

With Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana Teatro La Fenice returns to the Piazza San Marco in Venice, in front of the magnificent façade of the Basilica di San Marco.

With Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, one of the most popular pieces in music history and the most performed choral/orchestral work of the 20th century, Teatro La Fenice returns to the Piazza San Marco in Venice, in front of the magnificent façade of the Basilica di San Marco. Conducted by the great master Fabio Luisi, featuring the word-class singers Regula Mühlemann, Michael Schade and Markus Werba it was a magnificent event. "La Fenice’s orchestra and choir, in this case with the addition of the Piccoli cantori veneziani in the final part, have hit the mark“ (Il Gazzettino) with this concert and "it is noticeable overall the work made by the conductor Fabio Luisi, who managed to maintain the tension of the various historical pages with determination and energy." (Il Gazzettino)
