Minnesota Dance Theatre audience favorite Carmina Burana follows a long line of sensuous inspiration for this show — from the silent songs of 13th century vagrant monks’ poetic homage to passion to Carl Orff’s brilliant orchestral adaptation of the ancient words.

This sizzling multimedia performance offers a spectacular display of Twin Cities artistry. MDT’s sinuously prolific dancers are joined in energetic merrymaking by a powerful corps of musicians and adorned by the vocal exuberance of guest artists in what "Star Tribune" calls “a thrilling production.” Enjoy this show at The Cowles Center for Dance & the Performing Arts in Minneapolis.
