Janácek’s The Cunning Little Vixen makes its Glimmerglass debut in a new production directed by E. Loren Meeker with a new English translation by Kelley Rourke.
Inspired by “ Vixen Sharp-Ears,” a Czech cartoon, Janácek composed this poignant fable with lush orchestrations that summon the magic of a starlit night, the songs of birds and the peace of the ancient forest. In this fresh look at Janácek’s woodland fable, a forester, sung by Eric Owens, stumbles upon a vixen cub and takes her home.
Both have their assumptions about the world challenged.In this new English translation with projected English text.
