There is only one word to describe Carmina Burana - wonderful.

The undoubted stars of La Cuadra de Sevilla's superb production are the two magnificent white Lippizzaner stallions - one of them dances round the Congress stage in time to the music.

Salvador Tavora's spectacle using Carl Orff's stirring score is 90 minutes of unbridled Spanish passion.

The throbbing guitar music, exciting flamenco dancing and the beautiful operatic voice of soprano Alicia Murillo makes it an evening you won't forget.

The scenes depict the spring and there are various aerial acts high above the stage and a dramatic crucifixion which makes it apt for Easter week.

Surprisingly, all the costumes are white, not scarlet which you usually associate with flamenco.

Played without an interval, it is over too quickly and you come out wanting more.
