Tristan & Iseult:
A Medieval Romance in Poetry and Music

Since its creation in 1986, our retelling of the Tristan and Iseult legend using original medieval music and poetry has won numerous awards and distinctions and has toured around the globe. Now, in 2018, Anne Azéma brings this immortal lovers' tale back to life, directing an all-star cast in Joel Cohen's powerful scenario, complemented by her stunning new stage design.

Camerata's most honored production of recent seasons was originally conceived as a recording project. At the request of Erato records, intense literary and musical research took place during winter and spring 1987. The recording sessions were held in September, 1987 at the Church of the Covenant, Boston.
