The Cunning Little Vixen: Théâtre des Champs‐Elysées

About the Event

Spend a surprising and deeply moving musical evening with hens, dogs, badgers and 'The Cunning Little Vixen', in concert version at the Théâtre des Champs‐Elysées.

Janácek's improbable opera is a deeply moving meditation on human existence and its highs and lows, its fleeting moments of happiness, its unconsolable sadness at the transience of all living things, and the deep solace the seventy‐year‐old composer found in his awareness of life's ever regenerating power.
