Hesperus brings their famous “cine-concert” to Boston and accompanies the classic silent film “The Three Musketeers” starring Douglas Fairbanks. The year is 1625, and swashbuckling swordsman D’Artagnan joins forces with the Three Musketeers to save the French Queen’s honor from the machinations of the cruel Cardinal Richelieu. This 1921 melodrama, an adaptation of Alexander Dumas’ 1844 novel, comes alive with a real-time soundtrack of French renaissance dances, folk songs, and theatrical chansons by Gervaise, Compère, Sermisy and others performed on period instruments.
