áč The Cunning Little Vixen
Sung in English
Immerse yourself in the Britten Theatre as it is transformed into a forest for áč’s opera The Cunning Little Vixen. Playful parallels are drawn between animal and human life, hinting at shared characteristics while revelling in the variety of nature.
Through a tender series of snapshots of everyday mundanities, we witness love, longing and loss, made all the more profound through áč’s lush orchestral writing intermixed with folk tunes. This is an opera about the power of nature and the cycle of life, and this production promises to lean into the chaos and episodic nature of the work, embracing Vixen’s own untameable wildness.
