or this?:

The Newberry Consort (Ellen Hargis, soprano; David Douglass, violin; Russell Wagner, Ken Perlow, Phillip Serna & Craig Trompeter, viola da gamba). Elizabeth I (1912): An Early Movie with Early Music. One of Sarah Bernhardt’s most successful theatrical productions, Les amours de la reine Élizabeth (The loves of Queen Elizabeth), was made into a full-length feature film. Fledgling movie mogul Anton Zukor understood the film’s potential and brought it to the U.S., and as a result, garnered enough profits to start what is now Paramount Pictures. Newberry Consort director David Douglass has turned this early 20^th-century phenomenon into a one-of-a-kind work of performance art by creating a soundtrack of Elizabethan music performed live to this silent film. A five-part consort of violin and viols, along with soprano Ellen Hargis, perform dramatic music written about the historical events surrounding Elizabeth and her court—including the English victory over the Spanish Armada; Elizabeth’s tragic relationship with Robert Devereaux, the Earl of Essex; and Elizabeth’s eventual demise—as accompaniment to the film. Modern Theatre at Suffolk University. $20/$5 BEMF, Suffolk University students. 617-557-6537 or moderntheatre@suffolk.edu.

Update: Newberry wins!  And although I would like to say this is entirely due to the general awesomeness of Ellen Hargis (which it would be, in a fair contest), it has mostly to do with the boss.
