The fiery prophecies of Daniel, young captive in corrupt Babylon, ring forth again. 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 Boston City Singers and Longy School of Music of Bard College students, to make 1310 happen again, in 2020. Our singers and musicians are supported by Peter Torpey’s deeply evocative lighting and special effects.

The Boston Camerata is joined by the children of Saint Mark’s Cathedral Choir School under the direction of Rebekah Gilmore.

With the Rockefeller Chapel Choir and the Trebles of the Choir of St. Luke’s, Evanston

With Te Deum Antiqua and the Lawrence Children’s Choir.

This powerful, highly-praised production returns to Boston in 2017 as part of a national tour. The themes of justice, and of truth spoken to power, are once again front and center as the Jewish captive Daniel confronts the tyrannical Belshazzar. The magnificent musical play of Daniel, composed eight centuries ago in Beauvais, France was newly transcribed from the original manuscript source and powerfully staged for modern audiences by Anne Azéma, it was premiered in Boston in 2014 to critical and public acclaim. Presented in collaboration with Trinity Church; with the Trinity Choristers, Boston City Singers, and Longy School of Music of Bard College.

The prophecies, tribulations, and triumph of the young Biblical hero Daniel, as retold in music from medieval Beauvais. Probably the most powerful and musically evocative of all the medieval mystery plays, in a splendid new production conceived by Anne Azéma. A translation of the play can be viewed here and downloaded here.
