The Nagyerdei Open-Air Stage will close this season with two major performances: on 22 August, Carl Orff’s monumental musical masterpiece Carmina Burana will be performed by the Szeged Contemporary Ballet, and on 29 August, Pál Szécsi’s most popular songs will be performed by Hungarian star performers.
Carmina Burana
22 August 2024 – Thursday – 20:30 (rain date: 23 August)
Carl Orff’s monumental musical masterpiece was revived in 2000 as a spectacular dance theatre adaptation by the Szeged Contemporary Ballet. For 23 years, Tamás Juronics’ iconic choreography has been one of the most outstanding works of the Hungarian contemporary dance scene, attracting thousands of audiences at home, across Europe and overseas, and winning the company numerous audience and professional awards. Carmina Burana vividly captures the shared fears and joys of an imaginary barbarian community as it struggles for its own survival and humanity.
