You can’t outrun Carmina Burana. After Mozart’s Requiem, it’s arguably the most iconic choral work on the planet. Its thunderous opening, O Fortuna, has long since burst beyond the concert hall, storming cinema screens, soundtracking adverts and even infiltrating rock and techno. Driven by raw, collective force, this cantata exalts fate, desire, nature and life’s glorious excess. Performed by Ensemble Vocal Utopie, it promises spectacular, visceral music that hits both heart and gut. Brace yourselves, the wheel of fortune is about to spin across the Plaine de l’Asse.
