Well, that was, at least, campy. This was ghastly. The story had the bourgeoisie as cats, and the proletariat as mice, lulled into trusting the felines, who, of course, eventually would reveal their predatory nature. It was set in late Victorian times. The combination of cutesiness and pretension was bad enough. Add that the "modernist" score was a pile of cacophonous tripe (and remember, I actually like Schoenberg and Webern--- they are lyrically musical in comparison to this guy!), and it was torture. If were not for morbid curiosity about the upshot, I think we would have walked out...The final perversity was that I had missed a performance of "The Magic Flute", which had been staged the previous weekend!
