2007.4.7. Pacific Northwest Ballet.

3 pieces. First one is a fanfare orchestra work with enlarged photo shots of the orchestra members during rehearsal. A bit strange.
2nd piece is PACIFIC by Lou Harrison. Choreography: Mark Morris. Men and women in same skirts.
The major piece is Carl Orff's CARMINA BURANA, with Seattle Choral Company. Choreography: Kent Stowell. Very powerful. Energetic movements, including a portrait of an evil/drunk figure. All singers wear medieval monk-like robes. Great stage design with a huge hanging wheel and card board gargoyles.
