I wrote Baristas! for Olly Cox and Owen Gunnell after they had played my opera Clockwork at the Royal Opera House Linbury Theatre and on tour.I was immensely impressed by their virtuosity,sense of fun and refusal to let any challenge defeat them.They needed a new work for their Edinburgh Festival programme,”just before the interval “,they said. What could be more appropriate than two busy guys preparing for an interval rush just like their brothers in coffee,the professional baristas? You only have to see a crack team of coffee-makers to appreciate the comparison in speed,dexterity,and--most importantly--sound.Baristas!captures the rhytthmic precision and accompanying cacophony of beans,steam,and--what we all aim for--hitting the right place .A double espresso of an experience.
