Nevada Ballet Theatre brings together an ambitious combination of dance, orchestral music, and choral singing in this performance of Carl Orff's iconic *Carmina Burana*. The medieval-inspired work features some of the most powerful and recognizable music in the classical repertoire, including the thunderous "O Fortuna" that opens and closes the piece. NBT's dancers interpret the dramatic score through movement while a full orchestra and choir fill Reynolds Hall with the work's bold, operatic sound.

The program also includes *Serenade*, offering a contrasting complement to the evening. The performance takes place in Reynolds Hall at The Smith Center, where the venue's dramatic stage and excellent acoustics provide an ideal setting for this large-scale production. With the forces of multiple art forms converging—ballet dancers, orchestra musicians, and vocal performers—the show represents the kind of ambitious collaboration that makes live performance so compelling.
