At the Ballet

Season Opener

Carmina Burana & Kai

Inspired by the forbidden desires of 13th century monks, Carmina Burana is a tale revealed through their found poetry of lust and passion. With iconic music performed live by more than 100 choral singers from the Grammy®- nominated Symphonic Choir Conspirare and The Austin Symphony, Stephen Mills’ interpretation is a textured experience set to the haunting rhythms of artistic repression and the spirit of liberation that comes from breaking free.

Set to the exotic and experimental music of John Cage, Kai (meaning water) is a sensual celebration and a mysterious journey.
