PROLOGUE

The scene is laid in the pit, the candles are already lighted, the musicians are gathered in the orchestra. The theatre is filled, people talking in confusion, some arriving, etc.

FISCHER, MÜLLER, SCHLOSSER, BÖTTICHER, in the pit

FISCHER

Say, but I am curious, Herr Müller, what do you think of today's play?

MÜLLER

I should be more likely to expect the sky to fall in than to see such a play at our theatre.

FISCHER

Do you know the play?

MÜLLER

Not at all. A strange title that: Puss in Boots. I do hope they're not going to present that child's play at the theatre.

SCHLOSS

Why, is it an opera?

FISCHER

Anything but that; the bill says: A Fairy-tale for Children.

SCHLOSS

A fairy-tale? But in Heaven's name, we're not children, are we, that they want to present such pieces for us? They certainly won't put an actual cat on the stage, will they?
