Pinchgut Opera presents Coffee and a Dead Canary - Bach & Telemann II
Advertisement
Distilled and delightful, tiny opera at its best.
A captivating selection of cantatas - in essence, a triple bill of tiny operas-by Bach, Telemann and Bernier, revealing the theatrical spark of Baroque masters.
Bach's Coffee Cantata is a witty musical snapshot of 1 8th-century life, in a playful tug-of-war between a coffee-loving daughter and her disapproving father. In contrast, Telemann's Canary Cantata offers a heartfelt tribute following the death of a beloved pet.
Director Erin Lynch returns to Pinchgut to help us animate these cantatas that celebrate the character, colour and emotional nuance of the everyday, reminding us that short stories carry surprising depth. Vibrant, inventive, and utterly human, this is distilled and delightful tiny opera at its best.
