I believe that's the one I have.  I'm thinking more of a re-dramatization 
of the series, perhaps taking the story and retelling it in a more 
cinematic style using a rescoring of the original music to fit.

Yes; I went and saw Carmina Burana performed by Ballet West here in SLC - 
given the origins of the music, setting dance to it was something I 
thought would be a bit odd, but strangely it worked.  Pity the 
performance of the music wasn't up to my standard.

Oh, yes, absolutely.
