Richmond Ballet’s Carmina Burana in Charleston

with The Charleston Symphony Orchestra and the Charleston Symphony Orchestra Choir

Richmond Ballet brings the iconic Carmina Burana to the Gaillard Center stage. Set to Carl Orff’s masterful choral score, John Butler’s Carmina Burana is one of the most popular works in the Richmond Ballet repertory. Witness the brazen strength and hypnotizing passion behind Butler’s choreography in this groundbreaking ballet of the 20th century.

Originally choreographed in 1959 for New York City Opera, John Butler’s powerful, impassioned masterwork uses the full breadth of Carl Orff’s choral score to explore the melding of classical ballet’s structure with the earthiness of contemporary dance.
