Rabbit of Seville (WB, 1950) dir. Chuck Jones

Buy me a coffee!

[farkenshnoffingottom]

An emotional, heart-wrenching, meowsical experience that will have you weeping into your bowl of Fancy Feast! Come listen to the tragic tail of Madame Pawletta, a former opera star who finds herself facing her greatest rival yet…her own kitten, Catterina! What will Pawletta do when her own daughter receives more admeowration than she ever did? What on earth is that orange tom doing caterwauling beneath Catterina’s balcony? Will the mysterious butler Clawdio ever speak more than just one “meow” at a time? (AKA a parody of grand opera, with a complete musical cast and written lyrics so you can read along while listening.)

Listen to the full hour-long opera on ao3 here!

A cat-based opera with arias meowed to purrfection, opera tropes parodied in a loving way, and a complete choir of cool cats!

I have spent my entire summer working on this behemoth, and I could not be more proud of it. @presidenthades wrote this intriguing and Dramatic™ story, mybelleclochette selected and arranged the excerpts from classic opera, and I composed the original music for the greek chorus-style narration! So many amazing people also worked on this project as librettists, singers, and editors, and they all did such a great job! I cannot stress enough how amazing this turned out, so please go give it a listen!
