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.
