Carmina Burana
October 29, 30 & November 3-6, 2010
with The Four Temperments
John Butler’s Carmina Burana –our most requested ballet by Utah audiences – is a thrilling collaboration between dancers, singers, and orchestra, set to Carl Orff’s heart-pounding score. Carmina Burana is paired with George Balanchine’s complex and inventive The Four Temperaments. Together, these two mid-Twentieth Century masterpieces create a powerful and emotionally stirring evening.
