European Opera Days 2012 Bach's COFFEE CANTATA


More than eighty opera companies in Europe and beyond will join forces on 12 & 13 May to celebrate European Opera Days. Opera Theatre Company is delighted to be representing Ireland in this initiative, and in partnership with The Merrion Hotel will be welcoming audiences to join us for three performances of Bach's Coffee Cantata.

Lieschen, a dedicated young caffeine lover, is under pressure. She adores her three cups of coffee a day but her father insists she break the habit. His threats escalate with her defiant resistance – first she’s grounded, then no more ribbons for her bonnet, and then no new fashionable skirts!  It culminates when he forbids her to marry unless she agrees to give up coffee forever.  What will the resourceful coffee lover do? Can she outwit her dad or will she relent and give in?    

Join Opera Theatre Company’s Young Associate Artists (past & present) for this whimsical trip through time in the elegant Gardens of The Merrion Hotel. Cast includes soprano Anna Brady, baritone Nathan Morrison and tenor Eoin Hynes.

OTC, Ireland’s National Touring Opera Company is proud to be celebrating 26 years touring opera in Ireland with this caffeinated performance. OTC would like to thank The Merrion Hotel  for their support on this production.
