Coffee. Family drama. Bach.
Opera Unbound presents Johann Sebastian Bach’s Kaffee Kantate as part of the Seattle Music Teachers Association’s “Bach to the Future” concert series.
This hilarious mini-opera follows childhood frenemies Anna-Maria and Johanna who run into each other when Anna-Maria is in town for a funeral. Facing the potential judgement of her family for her life choices, Anna-Maria is faced with a dilemma: how do I not let an already sad occasion get worse?
Performed in modern English, this production brings opera out of the concert hall and into everyday life: fast, funny, accessible, and a little chaotic.
Performances take place July 25th at:
• Beacon Hill Transit Station – 11:00am
• Roosevelt Transit Station – 1:20pm
Free to attend.
