Anne Hutchinson

Commissioned by Intermezzo: The New England Chamber Opera Series, and with a libretto by Fritz Bell and William A. Fregosi, Anne Hutchinson dramatizes the trial of the most notorious woman in 17th-century Boston. From her dynamic showdowns with Governor John Winthrop to her passionate relationship and heretical break with Reverend John Cotton, we see Anne's radical ideas about freedom, religion, and women scandalize Puritan New England and help shape the future of America.
