The Cunning Little Vixen - Janaceck

HGO presents a fully-staged production, with orchestra and fabulous young opera singers, of Janáček’s timeless and enchanting opera The Cunning Little Vixen.

Captured when young by the Forester, and brought up by him as a pet, Vixen Sharp-Ears escapes back to the wild – but her life continues to interplay with that of the Forester and his friends the pastor, the schoolmaster and the poacher – and the handsome young fox Gold-Stripe.

Sung in the original Czech, with full English surtitles. HGO is delighted to have as production director the talented Eleanor Burke, and as music director the Czech conductor Lada Valešová. As always our casts are tomorrow’s opera stars, and we are thrilled to have local children taking the parts of the woodland creatures.

Tickets are £38 / £25 : tickets are available for young people aged 5-15 for £10 across all performances. Children must be accompanied by a full-ticket paying adult. (Maximum 2 children per accompanying adult)

Student tickets are available for £15 for performances on the 6th, 9th, 10th and 11th November.

Our special thanks go to an anonymous generous donor and to the Golsoncott Foundation for enabling this production.
