Over 170 artists will perform on stage for two consecutive nights. The grand musical piece promises a powerful experience.

The Children’s Choir will also join the professionals. Together, they will fill the stage with emotion and unstoppable energy.

Sopranos Eva Golemi and Nina Muho, tenor Matias Xheli, and baritone Armando Likaj will perform. Maestro Alapont and maestro Dritan Lumshi will conduct. The shows will take place on June 25 and 26.

Carmina Burana is a cantata composed in 1935–1936. It is based on 24 medieval poems written in Latin and other old languages.

It premiered at the Frankfurt Opera on June 8, 1937. The work is part of Orff’s musical trilogy Trionfi. The trilogy also includes Catulli Carmina and Trionfo di Afrodite.

The first and last movements are titled Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi (“Fortune, Empress of the World”). They open and close with the powerful O Fortuna.
