The Orlando Ballet is marking a special milestone this year: the company is celebrating Robert Hill’s 10th anniversary as Artistic Director.

So the Ballet’s main stage season kicks off this weekend in epic style, with a full-scale production of the perennially popular Carmina Burana.  The performance features live music provided by the chorus and orchestra of the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park.

More information on this weekend’s performances of Carmina Burana is available on the Orlando Ballet website.
