The story of the cat family is now brought to life on the Volksoper stage in a narrative version by Nicolaus Hagg to the rousing songs of the Disney film and with a great deal of imagination and enthusiasm.
Suddenly they're out on the street! The French house cat Duchesse and her well-protected children Marie, Toulouse and Berlioz are appointed heirs of the wealthy Madame Adelaide Bonfamille, which doesn't suit the butler Edgar at all. The cat family must therefore disappear, and immediately. Thrown out of their cozy home, instead of music lessons, fluffy pillows and English tea, the noble cats suddenly have to deal with draughty attics, street dogs and cackling geese.
What's more fun? The sheltered life in the house or the exciting life on the street? In a true adventure story full of wild chases and exciting twists and turns, the cats try to find their way back home. They are helped along the way by street cat Thomas O'Malley. Friendships are made in the most unusual places - and sometimes so is love.
