Performer: Paolo Rumetz

A solid cast led by Juan Diego Flórez revives Günther Rennert’s production, which still amuses after more than 400 performances. 

Excellent playing from Les Musiciens du Louvre and a mixed vocal performance are matched by a staging by Ivan Alexandre likely to be controversial.

The Vienna State Opera’s revival if their 2014 production of Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen with conductor Tomáš Netopil vividly realises the glowing colours of the composer's great affirmation of the eternal vigour of nature.
