Ed Waffle Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 There were a few posts on an opera list regarding "Opera for Dogs". Credit to James Calvert (who found some of them on another list) and Jack Hall, both of Opera_L. There must be some ballets that would appeal to animals, especially, I should think, cats. Here are the opera for dogs: Grrrr of the Golden West Fidolio L'heure espaniel I Pug-liacci Cavalleria Woofticana Turandog Simon Doggiengra The Flying Dachshund L'Incoronazione di Shar-pei-a (also L'Incoronazione di Puppy-a) Kat'a Kibbleanova Cosi fan Puppy Tannhounder Mutterdammerung Dog Carlo Falstarff Arfsifal Fido and Aeneas Jonny Spielt Arf Amelia Goes To the Dogs Dog-Chowvanni Link to comment

cargill Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Somewhat off the subject, but still cats and ballet, I can offer ballet-influenced cats--one of mine is Manon because she is stupid and greedy and one is Eleanora (from Bournonville's Kermesse in Bruges) because she is so sweet.

leibling Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 In the Bournonville spirit, why not the "Catnip Festival at Genzano" ? Link to comment
