CARMINA BURANA
July 17, 2026, 8:00 PM
HERASTRAU SUMMER GARDEN
The most famous vocal symphonic work ever written
CARMINA BURANA - for the first time outdoors in Bucharest, on July 17, 2026 at the Herăstrău Summer Garden
Carmina Burana – the most celebrated vocal-symphonic creation ever written – also known as the work that traditionally closes and opens the philharmonic seasons around the world, will be staged for the first time outdoors in Bucharest at the Herăstrău Summer Garden on July 17, 2026. The event brings to the forefront an elite interpretative formula that will include as soloists: tenor ŞTEFAN VON KORCH, soprano OANA MARIA ŞERBAN and baritone FANG SHUANG.
For lovers of the genre, the concert means the joy of hearing the most famous cantata in the world, long awaited and acclaimed everywhere, but also an opportunity to meet the soloist whose voice is often considered unmistakable for this work: the show brings to the fore tenor Ştefan von Korch, who will perform the specific score for his voice from "Carmina Burana" for the public in the Herăstrău Garden after over 40 appearances in this role on the stages of national philharmonics and a brilliant debut in Palermo, praised in the press in Italy and Romania alike.
Currently, Ştefan von Korch is one of the most sought-after soloists for the tenor line in Carmina Burana, and about the sequence which is often considered his "signature score" he says: "The musical line that falls to me in Carmina Burana is particularly high and intense, at the limit of the human voice's capacity, in fact written for a countertenor voice, but which I choose to sing with a full voice. The entire work is particularly challenging, both vocally and instrumentally, and I invite you to experience it and discover its tumult together."
Alongside Ştefan von Korch will be soprano Oana Maria Şerban, the soloist who had the honor of singing in the Gardens of Versailles at the opening of the 2024 Olympic Games and who in 2025 was "Elle" – the only character in "The Beautiful Indifferent" and "The Human Voice," on the stage of the National Operetta and Musical Theater "Ion Dacian," performed the character Miss Honey in "Matilda," the musical of the Comic Opera for Children awarded at the UNITER Gala and debuted in the role of Rosina from "The Barber of Seville" by Rossini, a production of the National Opera of Bucharest. About her presence on the premiere stage in the open air of the Carmina Burana show, she says: "it is a position that makes me very happy, I have wanted to debut in this emblematic work for the symbolic vocal repertoire for a long time and I hope you will be close to me in this moment full of emotion, on July 17, 2026 at the Herăstrău Summer Garden."
The soloistic formula will be completed by Fang Shuang, the baritone of the Comic Opera for Children who brings to the rank of art creations of mark from the local repertoire, from romances to immortal hits and who now puts his artistic versatility in the service of the superb "Carmina Burana," a work in which Carl Orff offers the baritone numerous moments of vocal-interpretative mastery.
Tenor Ştefan von Korch, the coordinator of the Musical Extravaganza season of which the concert is a part, concludes: “On July 17, 2026, we invite you to a special concert: «Carmina Burana,» a significant work in my artistic journey, is also the first work presented in its entirety within the Musical Extravaganza concerts; the solo formula is unprecedented, and the outdoor staging crowns the novelties that define this concert."
The famous Carmina Burana by Carl Orff will take the audience on its uplifting chords, along an intense journey of 25 musical numbers, which begin and end circularly with the famous prologue "O, Fortuna," one of the most recognizable themes of the classical repertoire.
In a presentation format at an excellence standard, the show will be a regal display of classical music, premiered outdoors. In addition to the high-caliber soloists, the production will be completed by a top choir and instrumentalists, and the musical direction will be entrusted to a master conductor who will consolidate the event's standard. The entire musical celebration will culminate in a dazzling production of the most well-known vocal-symphonic work of all time.
The vocal-symphonic concert "Carmina Burana" is part of the Musical Extravaganza season, which brings landmarks of lyrical art closer to the public, under the artistic guidance of tenor Ştefan von Korch and is the first complete work presented under this aegis.
Tickets are available until August 30th, starting from 89 lei on Ticketstore.ro, Biletlateatru.ro, Startickets.ro, DynamicTicket.ro and at Sala Dalles.
