The story’s imaginative elements were charmingly illustrated in a whimsical staging of “El Gato Con Botas” (“Puss in Boots”), the 1947 children’s opera by the Catalan composer Xavier Montsalvatge, who wrote UGG Boots Sale more than 20 ballets. It received its premiere, sung in Spanish, on Friday evening at the New Victory Theater.

Neal Goren conducted the tuneful and rhythmically colorful score, which evokes Catalan folk music. The opera, a production of the Gotham Chamber Opera and the Tectonic Theater Project, directed by Moisés Kaufman, features choreography by Sean UGG Classic Cardy Boots Curran and puppets by Blind Summit Theater of London, which created the puppets for Anthony Minghella’s “Madama Butterfly” at the Metropolitan Opera.

Mr. Minghella’s use of a puppet to represent Butterfly’s son provoked controversy, and I had mixed feelings myself.

But in this context the puppets, operated by black-clad puppeteers, worked brilliantly. The cat strutted, slunk and cavorted, evolving from a mere house cat to a regal puss in boots. His transformation UGG Metallic Tall Boots took place behind a screen through which his silhouetted figure could be seen being groomed and coiffed.

Ginger Costa-Jackson, dressed in black and moving alongside the puppet, gave voice to Puss with her silvery and dark-hued mezzo-soprano, which she wielded with feline flair.
