Cats at the Opera

Last night it was time to see Cats at the Opera. We bought the tickets right before the summer and back then it felt like an eternity - October 27. Well, it’s now October 28 so time flies…

This version of Cats was slightly different from the original one, which I saw in London probably 15 years ago. All the performances were in Swedish and the set design had been modernised. Something that felt a little bit strange at first, but the music was still the same and so were the classical songs. What impressed me most was all the dancing and acrobatics. The set really WERE cats. All characters were adorable (and I usually don’t like cats...). My favourite cat was a chubby red one who really wasn’t one of the main characters but somehow was on stage most of the time. He or she just played the role so well and if I was suppose to have a cat it would be one exactly like that. (That would never happen since I’m allergic to cats, but still.) The character/cat just got to my heart. Plain adorable.
