2025 Boston Early Music Festival
From 08 June 2025 to 15 June 2025/ United States / Boston
Join us for our 23rd biennial Festival—Love & Power!
Since our inaugural Festival in 1981, the Boston Early Music Festival has been North America’s premier celebration of Early Music, offering a spectacular week full of opera, concerts, and more. We invite you to join us for our 23rd biennial Festival, June 8–15, 2025, as we bring the world of Early Music to downtown Boston with breathtaking Baroque opera, one-of-a-kind concerts, the world-famous Exhibition (now at The Colonnade Hotel), and so much more!
The Centerpiece of this weeklong celebration of Early Music will be a fully staged production of Reinhard Keiser's 1705 opera, Octavia. The virtuous Empress Octavia is betrayed by her increasingly erratic husband, Nero, putting all of Rome on the brink of rebellion in an all-new production featuring gorgeous, period-inspired costumes, brilliant sets, and truly extraordinary music. Visit BEMF.org to review all of the 2025 Festival events that are now on sale—including the BEMF Chamber Opera Series production of Telemann's Pimpinone & Ino; a line-up of 18 Festival Concerts by luminaries such as The Tallis Scholars, Trio Medieval, The Boston Camerata, ACRONYM, and the all-star BEMF Orchestra; the Organ and Keyboard Mini-Festivals; and so much more.
