Carmina Burana is one of the most thrilling choral masterpieces of the last century. Carl Orff took poems by 13th century monks and effectively set them to music by means of exciting new rhythms and percussion effects. This rare combination of choral music and modern rhythms, performed by the Macao Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Zhang Guo Yong, choreographed by Ying E Ding, promises to be an unforgettable experience.
