Puss in Boots

About

Puss in Boots by Charles Perrault is a well-known children’s fairytale performed by the St. Petersburg Opera, which has received a new theatrical embodiment. “It is surprising that our theatre was the first to address the staging of Cui’s opera. Therefore, we are very sensitive to this production, perhaps even more seriously than to an adult opera performance. Vyacheslav Okunev and I created our own story about the adventures of the resourceful Cat, his naive friend Jean, the greedy sons of the miller, the capricious Princess, the funny King, the terrible but stupid Ogre and many other characters. We really hope that at our performance neither children nor adults will be bored, that they will again and again laugh at the funny situations in which the characters of the play find themselves, sympathize with them and worry with them,” Yuri Alexandrov said.
