A PLAY ABOUT EMANCIPATION

Café Zimmermann was once a highlight for the many visitors to Leipzig, city of trade fairs. After all it offered wonderful entertainment, both indoors and out, in the form of the Collegium Musicum, for whom the great Johann Sebastian Bach composed such light-hearted musical scenarios as the “Coffee Cantata”. Ārt House 17 and Adrian Schvarzstein make the setting a Styrian café, and Liesgen, the caffeine addict, is played and sung by a man, soprano Philipp Mathmann. 

With us you are sure to get into the concert :)
