Omnia tempus habent: Carl Orff's spoken pieces in the Europasaal
On August 12, 2026, an evening unfolds in the Europasaal of DAS ZENTRUM Bayreuth between language, rhythm, and space: Omnia tempus habent brings Carl Orff's thinking about spoken pieces into a concentrated theater atmosphere where voice, sound, and audience reaction meet immediately. The piece belongs to Orff's choral works and carries the Latin thought Everything has its time within it.

A work between declamation and stage art
Carl Orff developed an art form in which word, meter, and bodily expression merge into a unique dramaturgy. In the spoken pieces, a classic opera or concert experience does not emerge, but rather a stage experience of archaic clarity. The Europasaal, with its stage, lighting technology, and acoustically renewed spatial effect, provides a precise resonance body for this.

The space as a player
DAS ZENTRUM is not just any event venue, but a historically grown cultural center focusing on concerts, readings, and performative encounters. The Europasaal is named to have around 374 seats in rows, plus 84 seats in the gallery; at the same time, the space is physically accessible. The technical equipment with grand piano, lighting and sound technology, as well as a darkening window front, creates that concentrated theater atmosphere which carries Orff's language.

Bayreuth meets the timeless form
The preliminary report refers to an evening that does not seem loud but condensed: voice in the room, text as music, music as movement. Orff's work stands in the tradition of the 20th century and connects Latin text with vocal reduction and percussion. This date draws its tension from focusing on the essential.
