Macerata Opera Festival - Sferisterio Macerata
O Fortuna: A Monumental Sonic Experience
When the opening bars of the world-famous “O Fortuna” resound in the Sferisterio, the arena’s 100-meter brick wall becomes the perfect sounding board for one of the most popular choral works of the 20th century. Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana (premiered in 1937) sets medieval texts full of joy of life, belief in fate, and sensuality to music. For the 2026 performance, the Macerata Opera Festival has secured the renowned conductor Ramón Tebar to lead the FORM-Orchestra Filarmonica Marchigiana. The soloist trio is exquisitely cast: soprano Sara Blanch shines with radiant highs, tenor Ruzil Gatin takes on the demanding role of the roasted swan, and baritone Grisha Martirosyan lends depth and character to the secular songs. Together with the Coro Lirico Marchigiano “Vincenzo Bellini” directed by Christian Starinieri, this evening promises an archaic display of power that you can only experience under the Italian starry sky. Further details on this special concert can be found on the official Macerata Opera Festival website. Secure your seat for this exclusive highlight of the season.

The Work: Cantiones Profanae
The Wheel of Fortune and Lust for Life Orff’s masterpiece is based on a collection of medieval songs from the Benediktbeuern monastery. It is a fascinating mix of Latin, Middle High German, and Old French texts that sing of the ups and downs of human fate, nature in spring, and the joys of the tavern. The rhythmic force and catchy melodies make Carmina Burana the ideal work for the grand atmosphere of the Sferisterio.
