Work: Le Caffé

Pinchgut Opera always has a lot to offer, but this time their delivery proves patchy in ‘Coffee and a Dead Canary’. 

In the clear, warm acoustic of the oval St. Cecilia's Hall, the imaginatively named, local Baroque ensemble, Lord Rochester's Monkey, delighted an afternoon audience with a programme entitled Le Caffé - also the title of the central cantata by Nicolas Bernier (1665-1734).
