Birmingham Conservatoire present

The Cunning Little Vixen

by LEOŠ JANÁČEK
(Orchestration by Jonathan Dove)

Thu 10th – Sat 12th March 2011 at 2.30pm & 7.30pm in The Main House

Inspired by a cartoon of the exploits of the adventurous little Vixen Sharp-Ears, the opera brings to life the world of the forest.

Not only do we meet the people who live by it and pass through it, but also come across all the creatures who live there - caterpillars, badgers, dragonflies, frogs and, of course, the Vixen herself.

From her youthful escapades in the chicken house to her courtship with a handsome fox, this is a wonderful tale of the richness of the cycle of life.
