The Time Capsule is not a media server, so while you might be able to do what you want.....sort of....it is complicated.
In general, you will have to have iTunes running on a computer somewhere on your network....and....iTunes must be able to access the files on the Time Capsule. That probably means moving the iTunes Media Folder over to the Time Capsule. Tips on that here: Locate and organize your iTunes media files - Apple Support
Performance wise, things will have a much better chance of working well if you can hard wire the Time Capsule to the Apple TV, since wireless will probably not work very well at all for a task like this.
Personally, I would never do this, so I cannot tell you how well.......or, even if......this will work. If you decide to give it a try, please let us know how things are working for you.
Hopefully, some other users who might have tried this will post here as well with their experiences.
