Orff

The reviews in Germany were good, and it was soon given hundreds of performances in Orff’s homeland.

“The biggest fix is knitting all of the pieces of landscape, from upland forest to the coastal reefs, back together and making safer places for the water to go,” says Orff.

Set to Carl Orff’s dramatic score, the production includes a giant moving Catherine wheel and a live chorus seated on a floating platform above the stage.

Both the Bartok and the Orff come out feeling less operatic for it.

Having children play Orff instruments and classroom instruments as sound effects using the aesthetics above, would add greatly to the stories, as would composing an original song for the stories.
