Carmina burana
Folkoperan
Folkoperan is holding an audition for women in their 80s for this fall's major choral work, Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. The women will share the stage with the renowned opera singer Olle Persson, Folkoperan's choir and orchestra, guest choirs, and children.
-The older women play a central role in Carmina Burana. Their stories are woven into the piece, and their delicate life threads stand in contrast to Carl Orff's bombastic and powerful music, says Folkoperan's artistic director and director Mellika Melouani Melani.
