Associate Artistic Director Jenny Wong leads Carl Orff’s epic and propulsive Carmina Burana, along with the world premiere of a vibrant new work by Swan Family Artist-in-Residence Reena Esmail. Carmina Burana’s evocative lyrics, drawn from medieval poetry, speak of love, lust, and the inexorable wheel of fate. Esmail’s new work will be based on a variety of folk songs representing different languages and traditions of the Indian subcontinent. A 25 in 5 commission.
