Bach’s Coffee Cantata (Semi-staged)
Bach’s hilarious cantata about the generation gap comes to life in Jeannette Sorrell’s zany English translation. A Leipzig coffeehouse is the scene of a family drama as a precocious teenage girl keeps showing up against her father’s orders. The audience becomes the coffeehouse clientele as the comedy unfolds amongst the tables!
Bring the whole family! Suitable for ages 11 to 91.
