闯补苍谩膷别办 The Cunning Little Vixen
Sung in English
Immerse yourself in the Britten Theatre for 闯补苍谩膷别办鈥檚 opera The Cunning Little Vixen. Playful parallels are drawn between animal and human life, hinting at shared characteristics while revelling in the variety of nature.
Through a tender series of snapshots of everyday life, we witness love, longing and loss in both humans and animals, made all the more profound through 闯补苍谩膷别办鈥檚 lush orchestral writing intermixed with folk tunes.鈥疶his production embraces the episodic and at times whimsical nature of the opera, creating鈥痑n off-beat world that has its own authenticity. Inspired by鈥疺ixen鈥檚 untameable wildness, it leans鈥痠nto the fact that the opera as a whole insists upon the power of nature and the cycle of life.
Please note this production contains gunshot sounds, and themes of kidnap and death. The production also uses haze.
