Kanemaki-Chöre

• Opera

The universal language of music: it can be heard in Beethoven's »Ode to Joy« as well as in Orff's »Carmina Burana«. Both works utilise impressive, sometimes magical imagery. In the juxtaposition, we experience values such as freedom, peace and solidarity, but also the ups and downs of human life with the alternation of happiness and prosperity, the fleeting nature of life, the joy of the return of spring and the dangers of drinking, gluttony, gambling and lust.
