MARCH 5-13, 2010 | CAPITOL THEATRE
TICKETS: Start at $25

Choreography: Dwight Rhoden | Music: Carl Orff
World Premiere Choreography: Jimmy Orrante | Music: Rene Aubry

Dwight Rhoden's ballet explodes with power and strength, stirring souls and igniting passion. Inspired by the collection of 13th century medieval songs and poems written by monks, this riveting and sexual work moves audiences with dramatic scenes, highly physical choreography and the gripping music of Carl Orff. The Cleveland Plain Dealer said of Carmina's world premiere, "Fiery ensemble dances develop into a violent orgy that ultimately resolves into a joyous celebration."

Before Carmina, the program kicks off with the world premiere of Coming Into View by choreographer and 15-season Company dancer Jimmy Orrante, following the success of his The Great Gatsby (2009).
