UNBOUND: A Series of Ever-Evolving Performances

Prepare for an electrifying evening of music and movement as Alabama Ballet presents Unbound: Serenade & Carmina Burana with the Alabama Symphony Orchestra. The program opens with George Balanchine’s Serenade, celebrating 90 years as a luminous neoclassical masterpiece set to Tchaikovsky’s sweeping score. Then, the mood shifts as Carmina Burana, choreographed by Paul Vasterling, ignites the stage with raw intensity—Carl Orff’s thunderous score, performed live by the Alabama Symphony Orchestra and vocalists, drives a bold and provocative exploration of fate, passion, and indulgence. From ethereal beauty to unbridled revelry, this exhilarating performance promises a night of contrast, drama, and unforgettable artistry.
