A sparkling farce lands in Veresegyház: Georges Feydeau’s Cat Music storms the Veres 1 Színház on January 26, 2026, at 7:00 PM (Dániel pass), and returns on March 8, 2026, at 7:00 PM (Sejtes pass). Venue: 2112 Veresegyház, Köves utca 14. The Orlai Productions guest performance runs 2 hours 30 minutes with one intermission. Organizers reserve the right to change the time and program.
The setup: an opera, a tenor… and a disaster
Over a tranquil lunch, sugar magnate Pacarel declares he’ll hire an opera singer to perform his daughter’s opera at the Paris Opera—her new Faust. Then comes the glorious mix-up: instead of a famed tenor, he signs a young man just starting law school. The aspiring lawyer can’t sing a note. Cue a hurricane of flirtations and crossed wires: nobody knows who loves whom, who courts whom, or why the law student keeps being forced to sing, everywhere, all the time.
Feydeau’s world of vanity and blind ambition
The master of dazzling farce cranks every conflict to the limit. The characters are ambitious and selfish, their vision clouded by ego—vanity steamrolls reality, and the comedy detonates from there.
