Yes, that must be the one! My heavens, I remembered it from 1964??!! I guess I'll try tracking it down thru NET.

THANKS

Is anyone familiar with a performance by the Nederlands Dans Theater (or Royal Danish Ballet) to the music of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana?

I saw a TV performance many years ago. It was filmed in a monastery and outdoors. Absolutely gorgeous! I'm trying to find out if the video is available.
