Carmina Burana in Athens

It is a concept of colossal proportions that has fascinated music-loving audiences of all ages around the world for about eighty years. Carl Orff’s music, direct, with a disarming naivety, which however hides within it, a genius concept, paints in a wonderful way images and emotions through time. The influence of fate in people’s lives, the love of nature, love, wine and fun, inspire today in the same way they inspired the would-be monks of the Middle Ages to write these graceful verses.
