Concert: Carmina Burana at Stadsschouwburg Antwerp

Allow yourself to be captivated on 3 and 4 May 2025 by the musical and choreographic masterpiece, 'Carmina Burana'. This magisterial piece has already enchanted over 200,000 spectators worldwide, as evidenced by the standing ovations after more than 350 performances. Reviews describe it as "powerful", "enchanting", and "ritualistic", and for good reason.

The story provides insight into a group of barbaric survivors settling amidst the ruins of a bygone civilization. In their daily struggle with fate, they experience love, joy, sorrow, and the inexorable hand of death. Among them is a young girl who, despite her fleeting existence, knows moments of pure bliss. However, the wheel of Fortuna turns unpredictably, prompting us to reflect on the transience of happiness and the whims of fate.

The musical grandeur of Carl Orff's composition is beautifully enhanced by a dance company led by choreographer Gerard Mosterd. They bring the piece to life in a unique way and poignantly show how a barbaric community fights for its survival and humanity, shrouded in mysterious rituals. This performance highlights our intrinsic humanity through a range of emotions such as disappointment, joy, and fear.
