Puss in Boots - Arts Centre Melbourne
‘If you will follow my advice, your fortune is made.’ Puss from Puss in Boots Puss in Boots is the story of an extraordinary cat who decides to change the fortune of his poor master armed with just a bag and a new pair of boots. From chasing rabbits to challenging a powerful ogre, this cat’s crafty ways soon earn his master the celebrated title of Marquis of Carabas, the admiration of the King and the attentions of the beautiful Princess. For this hunter, trickster and fast talker, nothing is impossible! Puss in Boots (El gato con botas), an opera for children, was written by Catalan composer Xavier Montsalvatge and based on Charles Perrault’s much loved fairytale. Its light and charming music has been described by critics as ‘a joy to hear’ and is the perfect choice for Victorian Opera’s highly successful Education Program for schools. This specially created one hour show is designed to introduce children and families to the magic of opera. Puss in Boots 29 May – 1 June 2013 Fairfax Studio, Arts Centre Melbourne Puss in Boots is presented in partnership with Arts Centre Melbourne. A one hour opera in two acts sung in Spanish. Act One The Miller inherits a cat and he is miserable! Puss tells him he will bring him a princess with golden hair and requests gifts; a pair of boots, a hat, a sword and a cape made of satin. Puss sets off to look for a white rabbit he has seen before. The King announces the kingdom is at war! Puss arrives and introduces himself as the servant of Marquis (who really is the Miller) and presents the three rabbits as a present. The King is very happy. Puss presents a romantic letter to the Princess from his Master and she asks Puss to tell his Master she is now in love with him after reading the letter. Act Two Puss invents a story about his Master falling in the river and cries out to the passing King, Princess and members of the court to help his Master. The miller is saved and Puss introduces him as his Master, the Marqui. Figure 1: Puss in Boots, illustration by Carl Offterdinger, photo by Harke The Puss visits the Ogre in his castle and asks the Ogre if it is true that he has magical powers to turn into anything he wants. The Ogre proves to Puss his powers and turns into a dancing lion and then at Puss’ request into a mouse. Puss chases the mouse and eats it. Puss then pretends the Ogre’s castle is his Master’s when the King and his company arrive. The Princess and Miller/Marquis meet and fall in love. The King agrees to the Miller/Marquis marrying his daughter and they all live in the castle together.

Miller, Puss Miller is miserable because he has inherited a cat. Puss replies “A smart cat!” Miller considers frying or roasting the cat, or making a hat out of him! The music slows and Puss asks his master to listen to him. He explains that if the Miller will give him a pair of boots, a hat, and a cape made of satin he will bring a princess with golden hair. Track 2 – I Don’t Understand What My Cat Wants! Miller, Puss The Miller sings that he doesn’t understand why Puss wants these gifts, but he gets a red satin cape, a hat and a sword. Puss comes to collect the items from his Master the Miller. Puss sets off to look for a white rabbit that he has seen before. Three rabbits appear and dance. Track 3 – The King King The King appears and proclaims “All goes well here in my kingdom. No war, the country is peaceful!” The King then, after some discussion, announces they are indeed going off to war! “To war, me!, To war, men! Marching forward, chests high, demonstrating to the enemy your bravery” Track 4 – The Cat and the King Puss, King, Princess Puss comes out to watch and presents himself to the King and the Princess. Puss introduces himself to the King as the servant of the Marquis (who is really the Miller) and gives the three rabbits he has caught to the King, saying they are a present from the Marquis. The King is very happy. Track 5 – The Letter Puss, Princess Puss also presents a letter to the Princess which he says is from his Master, the marquis. It is a romantic letter. The Princess is impressed and asks Puss to tell his Master that she is now in love with him. Puss in Boots Education Resource - Music © Victorian Opera Puss In Boots - ACT II Track 6 – Interlude Puss, Miller Puss convinces the Miller to climb into the cold, swirling river to wait for the King and Princess to come by. The Miller objects, but does so and calls out “Oh, help me!”. As the King, Princess and other members of the court come by Puss calls out “Oh help me, please help us! My Master fell in there! The rushing current sweeps him away, don’t you care?” The King comes rushing to see what has happened and Puss invents a story about his Master falling into the river. The King orders his footmen and servants to rescue the Miller from the river. The King then orders The Chamberlain to exchange his clothes for the Miller’s wet ones. The Princess sings her wishes for the Miller/Marquie’s rescue. The Miller is saved and the Puss, who is well known to the King, presents the Miller as his Master, the Marqui. Track 7 – Interlude Track 8 – The Ogre Ogre In the enchanted palace of the Ogre. The Ogre sings about himself, “So you think my nose is like a giant eggplant which has been filled up with a lot of dark wine?” Puss enters and bow to the Ogre. Puss asks the Ogre if it’s true that he processes magic powers and can turn himself into other things, like a dog, a deer, a rabbit or a lion. The Ogre says of course, and turns himself into a lion and then dances. Track 9 – The Ogre and the Mouse Ogre, Puss Then Puss asks if the Ogre can turn himself into something very small, and the Ogre turns himself into a mouse. 65 The mouse is suddenly chased by Puss who catches it and eats it. At that moment the King and his retinue arrive. Puss welcomes the King and pretends that the palace belongs to his Master. Track 10 – The Princess and the Marquis Princess, Miller, Puss The Miller/Marquis and the Princess meet and fall in love.

All sing about the possibility of a wedding. The King agrees to Miller/Marquis marrying his daughter Track 11 – Celebration Dance The Marquis, the Princess, the King and the whole court joins in a celebratory dance. Track 12 - The End of the Story Puss Puss sings that’s he’s happy with the way everything’s turned out and curls up asleep on the throne. Puss in Boots Education Resource - Music © Victorian Opera What is Opera? Opera is a complex art form that has been around since about 1600. In 2013 there are many styles of opera performance, but basically, they all have one thing in common – an opera is a play that is sung. What is a Typical Opera Story? Initially, most opera stories were taken from mythology. Since then composers have taken stories from a variety of sources including literature, history, Shakespearean plays, children’s stories, real events and even Hollywood movies! How Many people Does It Take to Make an Opera? Many. The creation of an opera involves a composer, who write the music and a librettist, who writes the words, usually adapted from an existing story. That’s the easy part. The hard part is bringing an opera to life on the stage. This can involve an army of hundreds of workers that include the artists – singers, dancers, conductors, orchestral musicians, language coaches, music staff and directors; the designers – lighting, scenery and costumes; the craftspersons – set builders, costumiers and wig makers; the technical staff – stage managers, lighting technicians, fly operators, stage mechanists, electricians, surtitle operators, dressers; and of course the managers who coordinate all of the above. The philosopher Voltaire said ‘of all the noises known to man, opera is the most expensive’. What Comes First – the Words or the Music? The creation of an opera is usually a collaboration - which means the composer and librettist work closely together. What are the different types of operatic voices? There are five major voice types – Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano (both females), Tenor, Baritone and Bass (all males) with further categories defining each particular voice. What does it take to be an opera singer? Years of discipline and training. A singer needs to possess a good instrument (the voice) to start with and then spend years developing it. A singer needs to be able to sing acoustically in large auditoriums and be heard above an orchestra, which can sometimes have as many as 80 players. What is an aria? This is a song for solo voice. The aria allows the singer to pause and reflect on action that has passed and express their inner thoughts and feelings. What is a recitative? Recitative was used in the 18 th and early 19 th century much like dialogue is used in music theatre of today. There are two kinds of recitative: secco – accompanied on a harpsichord or accompagnato – accompanied by the orchestra. What is an ensemble? Music for two or more singers singing together, for example in a duet or trio. A large ensemble would be called the chorus. Where will we be seeing the opera? At the Arts Centre, Fairfax Theatre. This is a small theatre seating around 360 people, so you will be close to the action. Applause Play it by ear and follow along with the rest of the audience. However, audiences generally applaud at the end of the overture and often at the completion of arias – and wildly at the end! Puss in Boots Education Resource - Music © Victorian Opera 1.

Puss in Boots Education Resource - Language © Victorian Opera These activities give the students a better understanding of the story of Puss in Boots before they watch it. These activities are designed to allow the students to be familiar with the characters and pieces of clothing. Grammatically they will learn how to combine nouns and adjectives. Summary of the story This story starts when a poor miller dies and leaves his youngest child a cat. The cat promises the young man that he can make him rich in a week. He only needs a pair of boots. The miller spends the last of his savings to buy Puss his boots. The cat manages to win the favour of the king by hunting a couple of rabbits for him and a love poem for the princess. Puss tells the king and his daughter that his master is a nobleman. Then, by lying, he gets some new clothes for his master, and after that, a castle, that he takes from an ogre. Puss makes the king believe that the castle is the Marquis’s castle and marries his daughter with the Marquis of Barabbas. Topic, themes and grammar Characters Introduce the characters of the story by comparing with Puss in Boots, the movie. Remind you students Puss is not the only animal in this story. As an after viewing activity, you can brainstorm what are the other animals and introduced their names in Spanish. Clothes and colours To introduce the clothing topic we use the characters and what they typically wear. We can compare different fairy tales by looking at what their characters wear. The adjectives chosen to describe nouns, in this case colours, must match in both number and gender with the nouns they describe. Adjectives, in the majority of cases, are places immediately after the noun. Definitive and indefinitive article The difference between the definite and indefinite articles is the difference between talking about a specific person or piece of clothing, or any at all. El gato will be always el, while the pieces of clothing he is wearing can be un when is a random boot or las when they are his boots.
