Carmina Burana!

Last night I went to see the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra perform Carmina Burana. They had an amazing choir and a Tenor, Baritone and Soprano soloist. I loved the Soprano's red dress, gorgeous!
I played this Opera in band when I was in high school and have it on tape somewhere. I used to listen to it all the time. It's rare I hear of it being played, incredible to me because it's so beautiful!
The most popular recognizable song is O, Fortuna. It's sang all in Latin, very beautiful (and actually the translation they gave us, quite dark in some areas which I didn't realize)
The building had some gorgeous architecture and a very cool sculpture hanging from the ceiling. Looks like it was made out of blown glass and metal.
I'd much rather spend a Friday night there then at a bar any day
Here is O, Fortuna with English translations , most people have heard it and didn't know it!
