The artistic direction and the choreography of the ballet are signed by Luciano Ruiz and Sara Lezana, two great names from the world of the flamenco shows. "The fact that the Spanish artists were very well received by the Romanian audience prompted the decision to organise the world first of the show in Romania. It is the world first of this type that takes place in Romania and it is one more proof that we have a country with a cultural potential and spectators interested in high quality events," declared Pepino Popescu, the producer of this show. The same also stressed that the show celebrates the love and joy of living and the interpretation from Bucharest will observe the music of the classical opera. The dancers of the Spanish company will bring before the Romanian audience an opera that was used in the opening and final of the concerts of some well-known troops and artists, like "The Doors" or Michael Jackson.

Carmina Burana is a collection of poems and songs, and short theatre plays, found in 1803 by Benediktbeuern, a Benedictine monastery 100 km South of Munchen. In 1847, Johann Andreas Schmeller, a librarian from Munchen, published for the first time this collection calling it by the Latin name of Carmina Burana, which could be translated through the "songs from Beuren," or more exactly "the songs from Benediktbeuren." Most of the original texts are written in Latin, the language which was generally used in the literary world at that time. Based on these writings, the German musician Carl Orff composed one of the most appreciated musical operas, whose first performance took place in 1937. Orff's opera contains 25 poems, based on extracts from the more extensive text of the manuscript. by George Grigoriu <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (C) 2000-2005 Nine o'Clock ---------------------------- Vali "Noble blood is an accident of fortune; noble actions are the chief mark of greatness."
