Opera: The Cunning Little Vixen
"Ingratiatingly delightful... An abandoned train station may seem an odd place to run across a clutch of singing animals and Czech rustics. The magic of this production makes it seem entirely plausible." - Joshua Kosman, SF Chronicle
Suffused with Janacek's bewitching blend of lyrical modernism and central European folk melody, The Cunning Little Vixen also has the distinction of being the only opera in the repertory based on a graphic novel. Any performance of Vixen is an occasion, so come take in the menagerie as we present Janacek's late masterpiece--requested by the composer himself as his memorial.
