Since its inception in 1980, the biennial Boston Early Music Festival has grown to international stature of the first rank, and while its programming is diverse in scale and repertory, its focus in recent years has been on full-scale productions of baroque opera, including Monteverdiís LíOrfeo, Rossiís Orfeo, Cavalliís Ercole Amante, Lullyís ThÈsÈe, and this past summer, Matthesonís Boris Goudenouw.
