NFB returns to the Mattie Kelly Arts Center on March 9 at 7:30 p.m. and March 10 at 2:30 p.m. with Carl Orff’s powerhouse masterpiece Carmina Burana in an exciting collaboration with the Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra (NFSO). A celebration of spring and new beginnings, this inspiring program is a mesmerizing mix of live music, opera and dance. Created in 1934 and based on texts dating back to the 11th century, Carmina Burana is an uproarious and intoxicating depiction of a medieval paradise.
This eclectic partnership features the talented musicians of the NFSO, led by maestro Todd Craven, and the choreography of Gregory and Majorie Schramel, Artistic Director of New Orleans Ballet Theatre (NOBT), performed by NFB dancers and soloists from NOBT. Rising operatic world stars, including Sarah Vautour, Chris Bozeka, Ben Taylor, and the Northwest Florida Symphony Chorale, round out this incredible ensemble of artists for Carmina Burana.
NFB dancers will also take the stage with the neo-classical ballet Afterglow, choreographed by NFB Artistic Director Todd Eric Allen with live musical accompaniment by the NFSO playing Ralph Vaughan-Williams’ majestic and ethereal fantasia based on themes by 16th-century composer Thomas Tallis. A VIP party will be held immediately following the performance on March 9 exclusively for season subscribers, cast, staff and special guests.
Carmina Burana is brought to you by Season Signature Sponsors Scarlett Magazine and NFB's Official Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Provider, NFBJS Foot & Ankle Surgeon Dr. Sonya Ahmed. NFB is sponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture and the National Endowment for the Arts.
