A production of Loudoun Lyric Opera
Did you know? The great composer, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 -1750), not only gave to the world great sacred music and scientific advances, he also wrote comedy. His charming “Coffee Cantata” (BWV 211) tells the story of a father, who is exasperated with his teenage daughter (sound familiar?), because she defiantly insists on drinking lots of coffee. In the end, various cunning interventions bring about a resolution, including the involvement of the daughter’s boyfriend. The characters sing beautiful melodies (featuring an Ode to Coffee), accompanied by strings, flute and keyboard. The audience will be seated bistro-style, at separate tables. Our Holy Grounds is the perfect setting for this fun concert! Coffee and cookies will be served by an HTLC youth team, with donations welcomed to HTLC ministries. Tickets will be sold at the door or from LoudounLyricOpera.com .
