The monumental harmony of more than 200 voices combine to perform Carl Orff’s unforgettable masterwork Carmina Burana.
Orff’s cantata, composed in 1936, was based on a 13th-century manuscript of poems and dramatic texts.
The work’s most well-known piece is the song ‘O Fortuna’ – its powerful opening has added weight to countless moments in TV and film.
But there’s nothing quite like hearing it performed live.
