The Coffee Cantata by JS. Bach.
Bach’s ode to coffee is one all Bay Area residents can relate to. When a father struggles to break his daughter’s ever-increasing caffeine habit a coffee shop becomes a battleground in the quest for the perfect drink.
La Serva Padrona by Pergolesi.
Pergolesi’s comic tale has been delighting audiences since 1733. A clever maid sets out to become mistress of her household by seducing her master.
