Carmina Burana at Canyon High School Performing Arts Center

Mission Opera is thrilled to announce its upcoming performance of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, scheduled for March 1st at 7:30 PM at the Canyon High School Performing Arts Center. This celebrated piece, composed in 1936, is one of the most widely performed works in the choral and orchestral repertoire. Based on 13th-century poems found in the Benedictine monastery of Benediktbeuern, Carmina Burana explores timeless themes of fate, love, and the unpredictability of life through bold rhythms and striking harmonies.

Mission Opera's production promises to deliver the raw energy and primal force that has made Carmina Burana an enduring classic. The performance will feature a talented chorus of over 70 singers and a professional orchestra of over 50 musicians, alongside world-renowned baritone, Gabriel Manro, powerhouse tenor, Robert Dunlap, and the must-see soprano, Brooke Iva Lohman, with the dynamic, passionate, and nationally recognized conductor, Dr. Joshua Wentz, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.
