Project: Design concept and deliver assets for print and digital to advertise the premiere & tour of an original opera.

“Cocoa Cantata” is a 21st-century response to J.S. Bach’s “Coffee Cantata,” one of his secular cantatas, c. 1734. A mini-drama with colorful, comical roles for soprano, baritone, and bass-baritone, this work imitates Bach’s instrumentation and explores politics and optics in the multibillion-dollar chocolate industry.
