Classical music buffs, please help

I do adore Carmina Burana, the whole thing. I've never found it scary, though. It actually makes me pretty happy. The sometimes fatalistic, sometimes humorous, occasionally blasphemous lyrics are worth looking up as well. I'd love to attend a live performance someday.

One of my most memorable experiences onstage was an evening pairing Pagliacci with Carmina Burana. The curtain fell on Pagliacci[/i][/i]with the townspeople gathered around the bodies of Silvio and Nedda, staring in horror at the knife in Canio's hand.

After intermission, the curtain found us all in the same position. As the chorus started "O Fortuna" Canio was taken off, and the two lovers came to life to become the solists for Carmina[/i][/i]The piece was fully staged and danced by Body Vox, an amazing modern dance group based in Portland.

It would take me hours to fully describe this production (in fact , it has in the past). Suffice it to say that after over ten years, I still talk about it.
