Then, the mood shifts as Carmina Burana, choreographed by Paul Vasterling, ignites the stage with raw intensity—Carl Orff’s thunderous, pulsing score 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.
