Human and animal worlds collide in Janáček’s enchanting, cinematic modern fable about a clever vixen who tries to outwit her captors. The production uses playful projections to transform singers into forest creatures, with hand-crafted animations that evoke the fable’s comic-strip origins. This production is suitable for children aged six years and older and is a 90-minute opera perfect for the whole family!

 

DETROIT OPERA PREMIERE! This is the first time Detroit Opera has presented a work by composer Leoš Janáček, one of the most original voices in opera in the 19th and 20th centuries.
