Description
Tectonic Theater Project and Gotham Chamber Opera
New York, New York
By Xavier Montsalvatge
produced in association with Blind Summit Theatre
Puss, a charismatic kitty with cunning wit and irresistible Latin charm, promises a poor miller everlasting love and fortune. All the cat needs to pull off his trick are a hat, a cape and a purr-fect pair of boots! Directed by Moisés Kaufman, founder of Tectonic Theater Project, and conducted by Neal Goren, founder of Gotham Chamber Opera, this ravishing new production of a grand, melodic score and libretto transforms a favorite fairy tale into a heroic and humorous rags-to-riches adventure. As a cast of five singers provides the vocals, stunning creations from London puppet masters Blind Summit Theatre fill the stage. With performances in both the original Spanish and in English translation, this production is the cat’s meow!
Spanish Language performances are Thurs, Oct 7 at 7pm and Sat, Oct 9 at 7pm.
