Australian Baroque and West Australian Opera present Coffee Cantata and Canary Cantata
Thursday, July 23rd, 7:30pm His Majesty's Theatre
Two short comic operas: the award‑winning London production of Bach’s brilliantly caffeinated Coffee Cantata & Telemann’s Canary Cantata, a whimsical lament for a beloved canary.
This multi‑award‑winning London production of The Coffee Cantata reimagines Bach’s ode to caffeine as witty, stylish music theatre performed in English — a playful clash of virtue, vice, and the irresistible pull of the daily cup. Featuring sumptuous costumes by Sydney designer Elizabeth Gadsby and wigs adorned with hand‑beaded coffee cups crafted by Jane Corbett, milliner to Queen Elizabeth II and the Princess of Wales.
The program also includes Telemann’s Canary Cantata, starring West Australian Opera principal Brigitte Heuser — a theatrical drawn miniature in which private grief gives way to operatic indignation, and suspicion falls squarely on the household cat.
