Opera in three acts
Leoš Janáček
Libretto by the composer
What does nature mean when it is brought onto an opera stage with the means of art? A forester catches a little fox in the forest and drags it home with him. Following her animal instincts, the fox behaves surprisingly human: she gossips, steals and kills, fights for her freedom, seizes the moment of great love and shows people what it means to live. With his idiosyncratic depiction of humans and animals, Leoš Janáček broke new ground in the opera The Cunning Little Vixen, which premiered in 1924 and was based on a story by Rudolf Tešnohlídek. His music, which is as cheeky as it is melancholic, celebrates the cycle of life. An occasion for Stefan Herheim to celebrate the transformative power of music theater with Janáček's work when he makes his debut as artistic director at the Theater an der Wien.
