♠️☕️The Card Game by Antonio Caldara and The Coffee Cantata by J.S. Bach
November 17th at Somerville Music Spaces
November 19th at The Boston Synagogue
Our season opener is a fully staged double bill of two rarely performed Baroque gems,performed with chamber orchestra!
These pieces are both cantatas traditionally done in a concert setting without any staging, so our production is especially unique. Our modern day setting is in a coffee shop. Bored employees kill time with an intense game of Uno. Customers finally arrive -- a father and daughter who debate if she should stop drinking coffee. But, who could possibly give up Dunkin...?
This show offers a fun and relatable perspective on the joys and stresses of everyday life. We guarantee lots of laughs -- and da capo arias!
Reception on the Patio follows the Concert.
