Famous classical music pieces like ‘Duett Buffo di Due Gatti,’ literally ‘humorous duet for two cats,’

are common encores at concerts. All the lyrics contain is the phrase miau, which means meow, which makes it quite intriguing.

Composed by Gioachino Rossini in 1825, the song is taken from the same name of an Italian comedic opera that was quite popular at the time.

and Silvestro, two male cats, are in a playful and comical rivalry for the love of Ninetta, the female cat.

As they compete with one another, the two felines perform a duet with clever and amusing lyrics. In the end,

Ninetta marries a wealthy old tomcat instead of either of the cats she first chose. The opera concludes with the two felines making up and going their own ways into the night.

The lads in the film were members of a group named Les Petit Chanteurs A La Croix De Bois, which translates to ‘Little Singers of Paris.’ Regis Mengus and Hyacinthe de Moulins are the two principal vocalists.

I have no doubt that you will find this strangely exquisite composition to be truly enjoyable! After seeing the performance below, kindly let us know what you thought by posting a Facebook comment!
