☕ In Bach's delightfully witty Coffee Cantata, a young woman is hopelessly devoted to her daily coffee, much to her father's dismay. As he schemes to break her "addiction" and restore proper manners, their spirited battle of wills unfolds with humor, charm, and one unforgettable ode to coffee. Written at a time when coffee drinking by young women was considered scandalous, this playful mini-opera proves that some obsessions never go out of style.

👩🏻‍🍳 Donizetti’s Rita is a breathless, whip-smart farce where the past doesn't just catch up, it crashes through the door! When a long-lost husband returns to collect a death certificate, he is stunned to find his wife, Rita, alive and more strong-willed than ever. The two husbands suddenly find themselves fighting not for her hand, but for the chance to run away. Packed with razor-sharp wit and sparkling vocal fireworks, this one-act gem is a riotous masterclass in comic timing, featuring a heroine who refuses to be anything less than the master of her own fate.

🇫🇷 Rita will be sung in French with English dialogue & supertitles
