js bach's coffee cantata
Our next production is an intoxicating staging of J S Bach’s ‘Coffee Cantata’ in an intimate salon setting.
It shows a rare, cheeky side of Bach. The theme the power of coffee (a fad sweeping Leipzig in 1734) feels suprisingly modern and we are giving it a contemporary take, plus a soupçon of Peer Gynt .
Performances will take place in Sydney and on our tour of rural NSW when Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.
Peer Gynt
Henrik Ibsen's play accompanied by the music of Edvard Grieg is a rarely performed masterpiece. It is our major production for after Covid 19. It features the adventures of Norwegian braggart and poet Peer Gynt, and a fantasy world of trolls, mythical creatures and fake news.
We are privileged to have the assistance of renowned Ibsen translator May-Brit Akerholt. We have also secured support from Sydney City Council.
We pride ourselves on high quality, innovative productions that respect the original intent of the creators, while showing the relevance to 21st Century audiences.

creativity and quality
Our productions are respectful interpretations of the creator’s original intention with an eye to contemporary relevance.
We set the highest standards and will engage professional actors and musicians to complement our talented amateurs.
Inclusiveness
Our past success proves our productions are accessible and enjoyable for modern audiences.
Volunteers are welcome to assist in the numerous tasks necessary to mount our upcoming production of Peer Gynt, including marketing, administration, social media, stage management, sets and costumes.
Skill sharing
Our past productions have developed the skills of new performers and behind-the-scenes helpers using the knowledge and experience of mentors. The Beggar’s Opera saw talented singers with little acting experience become assured, convincing on-stage characters, such as the endearing Polly and dastardly MacHeath.
