NCPA

The National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA) will present the Symphony Orchestra of India’s 12th Celebrity Season from February 18 to 26, 2012, featuring two Grand Operas (the classic duo, Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana and Ruggero Leoncavallo’s I Pagliacci on February 18, 20 and 21, 2012) and a scenic cantata – Carl Orff’s powerful and elemental Carmina Burana on February 25 and 26, 2012. More often heard as a choral piece, at one time during the early 1960’s this composition was probably the most performed classical work throughout the entire western world.

Carmina Burana by Carl Orff was performed to great acclaim at its debut performance in 1937, Frankfurt. Orff soon became one of the most noted German composers of his generation developing an interest in the study of early music. He also opened a school in Munich with dancer Mary Wigman featuring a ‘regeneration of music’ from movement and dance
