Bach's Coffee Cantata
presented in partnership with Salastina
Sunday, December 6, 2026
9 AM and 11 AM
Cove Laguna
We know Laguna loves their coffee & their mornings so when Salastina reached out to team up for the Coffee Cantata, we knew this would be a perfect fit.
In September of 2019, Salastina premiered Vid Guerrerio’s English modernization of Bach’s hilarious — and hilariously outdated — Coffee Cantata. This December, Salastina teams up with Opera Laguna to present Bach's comic oratorio about coffee addiction with a modern, English adaptation by the incomparably witty Vid Guerrerio.
One free coffee beverage included, provided by MoonGoat Coffee. Additional drinks available for purchase.
This event is suitable for children ages 10 and up.
