Carmina Burana - Ballet, Choeurs Et Orchestre - Paris & Tournée

Carmina Burana - Ballet, Choeurs et Orchestre - Paris - Tournée at L’Amphithéâtre 3000

At L’Amphithéâtre 3000, we are preparing our stage and acoustics for one of the most visceral live experiences a hall can host: Carmina Burana performed by Ballet, Choeurs et Orchestre - Paris - Tournée. Our 3,000-seat amphitheatre is built for the scale and immediacy of Carl Orff’s pulse-quickening score, where the union of massed voices, full orchestra, and vivid choreography ignites a larger-than-life spectacle. From the first thunderclap of O Fortuna to the sensual contours of Cour d’amours, this production meets our room with a dynamic range that travels from whisper to roar. The ballet’s kinetic tableaux bring a physical language to the medieval texts, while the chorus—arrayed to project warmth and clarity throughout the hall—supplies that unmistakable wall of sound. In Taberna crackles with percussive swagger, Primo vere lifts with spring-light freshness, and Blanziflor et Helena unfurls in radiant unison. As a venue known for welcoming grand-format productions, we revel in offering our audience the chance to experience this iconic score with the electrifying immediacy that only a live, full-scale staging can deliver.

The ensemble’s artistic momentum and a season made for big stages

Hosting this Paris-based touring collective allows us to share not only a celebrated staging of Carmina Burana but also the artistic momentum behind it. The company’s current touring cycle places a renewed focus on large-form creations that merge ballet, chorus, and symphonic forces—works conceived to resonate in spacious rooms like L’Amphithéâtre 3000. Their repertoire emphasis this season highlights rhythm-forward 20th-century pieces and grand choral pages, with Carmina Burana at the heart of that vision. Renewed scenic elements, refreshed choreography, and a vivid color palette emphasize contrast and narrative clarity, while the choral contingent is honed for precision attacks and text-driven phrasing. The ensemble’s artistic news echoes an appetite for ambitious programming across major cities, cultivating collaborations that broaden the scale of each performance and refining the kinetic interplay between dancers and voices. With this tour, the company underscores how movement, chorus, and orchestra can be fused into a single dramatic engine—one that thrives on immediacy, impact, and an unmistakable theatrical arc, perfectly matched to the breadth and height of our stage.

For audiences joining us at L’Amphithéâtre 3000, the experience is crafted from the ground up to make every seat feel close to the music and the dance. Our adjustable acoustic design is tuned so that the lines of the woodwinds and the shimmer of the chorus sit naturally in the room, while the brass and percussion find thrilling lift without overwhelming the human voice. We configure the stage to welcome the full contingent—tiers for the Choeurs, an ample pit footprint for the Orchestre, and generous dance space for the Ballet—ensuring that choreographic patterns read cleanly from the stalls to the upper levels. Lighting draws focus from the feral drive of In Taberna to the tender bloom of Cour d’amours, and the culminating return of O Fortuna is engineered to land with symphonic weight and visual blaze. From arrival to applause, our team is committed to the clarity of sightlines, the comfort of the audience, and the integrity of the sound, so that every accent, crescendo, and tableau of Carmina Burana arrives with the immediacy that has made this work a phenomenon on the world’s great stages.
