Arrival

Carl Orff made them famous: the collection of about 250 poetic texts in Latin, Middle High German, and French, discovered in 1803 in the Upper Bavarian Benediktbeuern Abbey. The knowledge of the manuscript, dating back to the 13th century and named «Carmina burana» by the linguist Johann Andreas Schmeller after its discovery, was long reserved for connoisseurs of medieval music. This changed rapidly when Orff used approximately one-tenth of the texts for his «Carmina Burana, Secular songs, to be sung by soloists and choirs accompanied by instruments and magical images» in 1937.

The Italian ensemble Theatrum Instrumentorum has been engaged with the songs and poems of this early Gothic manuscript for over 25 years. The manuscript's origin is now associated with Maria Saal in Carinthia or the Neustift Monastery in Brixen, South Tyrol. What the musicians found within it, they interpret in a way they themselves describe as «a kind of Rock’n‘Roll before its time.»

Program

About the Event
Introductory Talk

To set the perfect tone for the concert, we offer a complimentary introductory talk. Artists will provide exclusive insights into the evening's program in a discussion led by Christian Moritz-Bauer. The talk always begins one hour before the concert in the Spanish Hall.

Your event ticket serves as public transportation within the core zone of Innsbruck two hours before and after the event. For evening concerts at Ambras Castle, a free festival shuttle operates in addition to the IVB Line M (towards Aldrans Fagslung), running every 15 minutes (see schedules). If you arrive in Innsbruck by train (arriving at the main station), Postbus 540 also travels from there to Schloss Ambras. After the concert ends, multiple shuttles will be available simultaneously to take you back to the city.
