| Glyndebourne 2012 - Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen LIVE |
Sunday 10 June 6.30pm LIVEThis summer we are thrilled to announce that we will be screening satellite performances from Glyndebourne Festival Opera, the incredible summer festival from the Glyndebourne Opera House in East Sussex.The Cunning Little Vixen is perhaps the only opera to be inspired by a newspaper cartoon strip. Every morning, Janáček would catch up with the latest exploits of the mischievous vixen Bystrouška. He became such a dedicated follower of her adventures that he responded with an outpouring of music, rich in both humour and humanity, which evokes the wooded rolling hills of the composer’s homeland of Moravia. A new production for the 2012 Glyndebourne Festival Opera. Conducted by Vladimir Jurowski and directed by Melly Still. Sung in Czech with English supertitles. This performance will be broadcast live from the Glyndebourne Opera House.
