A new Emerging Artist & Youth Chorus production for the 2020 Festival
5.00–8.15pm (including 90-minute dining interval)
Sung in English with English surtitles. English translation by David Pountney
A vixen cub strays across a forester’s path, and is captured and taken to his home. She makes her escape, and begins her adventures in the wild.
With its juxtaposition of humans and animals, The Cunning Little Vixen shifts from the comic world of everyday village life into the mystical cycle of nature. Conducted by Justin Brown, the current Music Director of Karlsruhe State Theatre, and directed by Olivia Fuchs, this new production will showcase Longborough’s vibrant Emerging Artists, and the Longborough Youth Chorus made up of local children.
