The Cunning Little Vixen
Příhody lišky Bystroušky

Sung in Czech, with French and English surtitles
An evening of grace and poetry in a humanist tale where human and animal destinies intertwine with humour, fantasy and melancholy. Janacek, known for his particularly dark dramas such as Jenufa and Katia Kabanova, is an exception here. The musician, who was then in his seventies, tells us about the adventures of a gamekeeper, an innkeeper, a priest, a schoolmaster... and a vixen, a fox, a dog, a rooster and some hens, crickets, grasshoppers, flies, dragonflies, an owl, a badger... But in the forest, nothing ever grows old except for the illusions of men. To accompany this poetic bestiary, the talented Mirga Grazinyté-Tyla and her musicians from the Birmingham Orchestra make their return.
