‘O Fortuna’. Oh fate!  With a rousing clash of cymbals, defrocked monks burst onstage to set the tone for this extraordinary ballet choreographed by Tom Pazik. Somber, joyous, miraculous, it creates an odyssey from Adam and Eve to the Apocalypse. Dance Alive National Ballet joined by the University of Florida Symphony Orchestra, UF Concert Choir, Gainesville Civic Chorus and guest singers bring this magnificent production to a fever pitch.  Sacred and profane, erotic and profound, CARMINA BURANA is not to be missed! Recommended for ages 10 through adult.
