The most popular work of the 20th Century, Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana is a powerful pagan musical offering that celebrates nature, fortune, love, lust, and drinking.
Based on a collection of medieval texts, it is an epic work for mass choir, orchestra, and soloists. From its opening chorus O Fortuna, the raw, bold power of the music captivates and exalts, making it one of the most iconic scores in popular culture. Starring Samuel Dale Johnson, Desiree Frahn and Paul McMahon, with the full State Opera Chorus, Young Adelaide Voices, and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Benjamin Northey. This choral spectacular will be a night to remember.
Following a sell-out performance of Carmen in the Square in 2019, State Opera presents Carmina Burana at Memorial Drive Park for one extraordinary night.

Did you miss our special Anzac Day concert this morning? Don’t worry, you can still watch it in full below!
I did! and shared!
It was wonderful.
Just wonderful a lovely varied presentation!
Joan Young here you go. 🎶
Loved it. Thank you!
Join State Opera as they sing for "King and Country" this ANZAC Day morning from 11am ACST. Featuring hit songs of the early 20th Century and the wartime anthems that swelled a nation’s pride, plus a smattering of Gilbert and Sullivan.
Thank you from an ex-south Australian. That was special.
Beautifully performed, thank you State Opera South Australia
My kitten thinks I’m mad as I sing along with Tarantara!
Wonderful memories of performing in Pirates of Penzance. In memory of the four police who died the other day.
Great to see these folk performing again, even if we're not with them. Great tribute by SOSA to the Anzacs.
Fantastic singing. I grew up with all this music, especially the Irish ones.
Floods of tears here. Takes me back to my childhood and happy family concerts around the piano on Sunday nights with my wonderful Uncle Albert playing piano with much gratuitous emotion
Not sure anyone can move Peter Dawson over but loving this rendition.
Taking me back.50 plus years and memories of anzac day with my mother
What a wonderful concert...congratulations to the singers and all involved...the ANZAC commemorations have certainly risen to a professional and amazing level due to events like this...a true positive of the lockdown necessity.
I am 72 and somehow these songs are part of my fabric. I don't know the how or the why , they just are and my family wasn't particularly musical. I guess I just absorbed them with the air I breathed. Thank you
Artists: Bethany Hill, Charlotte Kelso, Mark Oates, Andrew Crispe, and Gerry Masi.
Go you heroes.... doing the choreography from NLTC's Pirates of Penzance in my loungeroom 😀
Great work SOSA. Thoroughly enjoyed that!! Lest We Forget.
Thank you SOSA for a truly beautiful and meaningful concert this ANZAC Day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lovely addition to ANZAC day, well done State Opera
Thank you SOSA. It's wonderful to hear these old songs sung so beautifully. A very special and moving tribute. Bravo All.
Thanks Mark, too, for your singing of the anthems this morning. So great.
I am trying to find the songs that I missed.
Loving this, thanks state opera. And thanks Amy for drawing my attention to this.
My dog, Toby, is quiet for a change... enjoying it along with my loud singing
That was wonderful. I shall just mop up the tears after Danny Boy.. ...thank you..
A simple but big thank you. Songs from my youth. Beverley Frling
Lovely concert. Thank you to all the artists and to Stuart and State Opera.
Loved this concert, brought back memories of hearing my pop sing loudly to many of the songs, especially in the latter part. Congratulations State Opera South Australia . Feel free to share .

Beautiful ❤️
A beautiful video in these trying times
Wonderfull Mark, Andrew, Gerry and ladies. Oh (Danny) Boy that was great. And thanks for that little trick , just so that we could hear it again 😉
The magnificent Mark Oates was a good enough to let us share a bit of behind-the-scenes footage from the recording, in which we hear his gorgeous interpretation of Danny Boy not once, but twice. That's right folks - even pros can have a "moment" but they get right back up and keep on going. As one listener said "Lucky us to hear it twice!" 😉
Mark Oates you’re a wonderful wonderful human xx
