Kimmel Center Presents: The Cunning Little Vixen

Presented in association with Opera Company of Philadelphia and the Kimmel Center

Humans and creatures of the forest mingle together in a delightful tale about the circle of life. Follow a clever young fox—cunning little vixen—on her journey through forest and town, love and rebellion. Composer LEOŠ JANÁÈEK based his whimsical opera on a series of newspaper comic strips. Director Chas Rader-Shieber and designer David Zinn, who created the enormously successful Lyric Opera of Chicago production, re-imagine the work for Perelman Theater. Maestro Corrado Rovaris leads the Curtis Symphony Orchestra. Performed in Czech with English translations.
