Carmina Burana, the world’s most popular piece of classical music, tells the story of the wheel of life and all that brings; love and lust, life and death, rich and poor, power and poverty. This production marks the first time the tale behind the music has been acted out along with the music.
Franz Abraham’s production of Carmina Burana was first launched in 1995 and has wowed audiences since, including a performance on Copacabana beach in Rio to an audience of 100,000 people.
Abraham commented on his production coming to London: “The British public will never have experienced anything like this production of Carmina Burana. The breathtaking set, dramatic performances from both a world-class orchestra and choir, along with first class actors and dancers will leave many open mouthed. I have enjoyed seeing people moved by Carmina Burana across the world and it is only right that it is now experienced by a UK audience.”
David Campbell, Chief Executive of AEG Europe, owners and operators of The O2 commented: “Carmina Burana at The O2 will be a totally new classical experience that will knock the senses. The arena will be transformed by the celebrated set and will offer music fans a classical concert like no other they will have witnessed before.”
Carmina Burana will be followed soon by large scale productions of other major classics.
About Art Concerts
Founded by Franz Abraham in 1986,
ART-CONCERTS is currently regarded as Germany's most innovative and one of its most successful production and event-organising agencies.
The Idea: To present music in new, lively contexts and to create music-events for thousands of people are the challenging tasks which
ART-CONCERTS have taken upon itself. To burst old boundaries, creatively connect musical worlds and create new experiential spaces: concepts like these characterize the spirit that change visions into reality.
The enterprise's ambitious philosophy was first translated into reality on a large scale during the "
ART PROJECT" festival. The concept of this festival involved inviting selected representatives of the most important musical genres to present themselves and their music during the "
ART PROJECT" festival. Jazz and classical, rock and avant-garde united as mutually inspiring expressive forms of music in a fruitful dialogue with one another. The idea and its realization were warmly welcomed on the international scene, e.g. in Copenhagen in 1992 and in Munich in 1996.
Since its founding,
ART-CONCERTS has organized hundreds of individual concerts and tours in Germany and throughout Europe featuring outstanding artists in all musical genres. The history of our concerts reads like a "Who's Who" of the music business: from The Rolling Stones (in Munich's Olympia Stadium in 1995 and 1998) to Placido Domingo (at Munich's Königsplatz in 2000).
"Out of the temples of the muses: classical music on the green grass!" This idea was the starting point which developed into our concept for monumental productions and ultimately led
ART-CONCERTS create a new genre:
Music-theatre events presented at historic sites as cultural events of the highest quality for audiences from all walks of life.
