miliosr Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Did they drop The Moor's Pavane from the Carmina Burana/Concerto DSCH triple bill? I no longer see it listed at PNB's Web site. Link to comment
Helene Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yes. I was surprised to see "Carmina Burana" paired with two other works in the first place, because while there's no intermission, it's very long and usually preceeded by one, which is now the plan. Link to comment
