Anne Azéma and the cast of Daniel receiving a post-performance ovation from the large audience at Trinity Church, 11/23/2014.
A fine boost from the Boston Globe!
Wonderful words from the Globe, too!
…Camerata’s artistic director Anne Azéma, and her versatile company of young singers, dancers, and musicians, don’t need real lions or Babylonian palaces…they have smartly resuscitated and reinvented a 13th-century French version of the story….to convey the timeless spiritual message of Daniel’s humility and courage more convincingly than could any Hollywood epic.

“A pure delight…sublime”
says the Boston Classical Review
As all involved…
…in the Camerata’s “Play of Daniel” production savor their epoch-making achievement of last night, we remember, with love, the late Andrea von Ramm (1928-1999), the first Camerata Daniel. Andrea’s prophetic vision of what medieval song could be inspired us then, and continues as a beacon down to the present day.
