Mother's Day cake coffee to the beat of Korean baroque opera

The Coffee Cantata is a comic mini-opera composed by JS Bach in 1732, which he composed in response to the coffee hysteria sweeping across Leipzig and across Europe. Finns are known as the most active coffee drinkers in the world, so the theme of the show strikes directly into the Finnish heart.

In the cantata, the beautiful and previously kind daughter Lieschen gets to taste coffee, and can no longer give up this passionate drink of this wonderful refreshment. Lieschen’s father, Schlendrian, is worried and fears the daughter will become an old bishop and support her. The father scares his daughter with all sorts of threats, but the daughter does not give up coffee. Father Schlendrian eventually leaves himself to look for a suitable spouse. The daughter vows to marry only if the groom promises to let his bride drink some coffee. Where can you find a groom who is suitable for the bride's constant coffee?

Welcome to enjoy the Baroque opera and the café!
