Minnesota Dance Theatre (MDT) will bring audience favorite Carmina Burana to the Luminary Arts Center January 26 – February 4, 2024.
Carmina Burana features Loyce Houlton’s masterful choreography reimagined as a total theater experience by MDT Artistic Director Emerita Lise Houlton, with Dominique Serrand.
Set to Carl Orff’s scenic cantata, this tour de force performance draws inspiration from the silent songs of 13th century vagrant monks’ poetic homage to passion. Carmina Burana brings the human pangs of love and lust, mixed with the earthly rumblings of fortune and fate, to a fully expressive celebration in a hedonistic romp of bodies, music, and movement.
The production presents a spectacular display of Twin Cities artistry, showcasing a dynamic mix of MDT dancers with the Minnesota Chorale, vocalists Anthony Potts, Linh Kauffman, and Gary Ruschman, and musicians Bob Adney, Barbara Brooks, David Hagedorn, and Tom Linker.
