StarBach's: The Coffee Cantata
" ...as fun and frothy as a triple latte with extra foam." -CBC Radio
The caffeinated version of J.S. Bach's mini-opera comes to life in a 21st century coffee house.
You'll meet Schlendrian, his sister Lieschen and her secret crush - Taylor the Latte Boy.
Sung in English and including additional songs glorifying our favorite morning drink, this professional production features faculty from all three of Manitoba’s music schools, and is delightful, delicious, and suitable for all ages.
