Sounds like fun!

I'm on the University of Chicago Music Department's email list, and just got an announcement of this event:

Senior Thesis: Stephen Raskauskas
J. S. Bach’s Coffee Cantata, BWV 211
Fulton Recital Hall
1010 E. 59th Street, Goodspeed Hall, 4th Floor
Admission: free; no tickets required.

Stephen Raskauskas presents a delightful and rarely attempted spectacle: a fully staged performance of J. S. Bach’s famous “Coffee” Cantata. Collaborating with members of University of Chicago’s student run University Theater, the production will include period costumes, antique props, and theatrics.

Doesn't that sound cool? I must check my calendar.

I loved the theater and music in college...and this sounds so delightful!

I had never even heard of this cantata until about 2 hrs ago when my harpsichord lecturer gave a me a selection of CD's, one of which had this work on it. After I've listened to it I'll have more of an idea of how a staged version would work - but sounds fun anyway!
