As contemporary history unfolds hour by hour, Camerata’s music once again brings the ancient stories of conflict in Iraq and Iran to the forefront of our consciousness.

This stunning, contemporary new production by Anne Azéma of the greatest musical play from the French Middle Ages involves lights, movement, urgent poetry, and a sterling cast including seasoned professionals, children, and students, to make 1310 happen again, in 2020. A national tour in January and February will bring this magnificent production to audiences on the West and East coasts.

The Camerata’s performance of “Free America!: Early Songs of Resistance and Rebellion” has garnered rave reviews from the Boston Globe, the Boston Classical Review, and the Boston Musical Intelligencer. Here are some highlights; to read the reviews in full, click on the links below!

“The singers — mezzo Azéma, soprano Camila Parias, alto Deborah Rentz-Moore, tenors Daniel Hershey and Michael Barrett, and bass-baritone Luke Scott — were exemplary in every way, from purity and expressiveness of voice to blending in duets and trios to diction to making eye contact with the audience.”
— Jeffrey Gantz, The Boston Globe

“Under Azéma’s direction, the ensemble cast the songs in a bracing, down-home style, and with the verve of a village band, the performers captured an emotional immediacy fit for any age.”
— Aaron Keebaugh, Boston Classical Review

“Anne Azéma led the musicians of the Boston Camerata in the lively and moving “Free America!” at Faneuil Hall …the voices blend exceptionally well in every possible combination of duets and trios, whether of men, women, or mixed genders.”
— Steven Ledbetter, The Boston Musical Intelligencer
