Be transported to the forest and follow the enchanting tale of Vixen Sharp Ears.
Captured by a Forester as a young cub, Sharp Ears dreams of freedom and escapes to take on the world.

As her mischief unfolds, all the creatures of the forest come to life as rebellious hens, delicate dragonflies and playful squirrels help her on her journey.

Janáček’s playful folk-infused melodies burst with energy including the radiant motifs of ‘Vixen’s Aria’.

This bittersweet fairy tale is an emotional journey reflecting on the nature of life, the cycle of birth and death and the connection between the human and animal worlds.

Director Sir David Pountney returns to charm audiences with this celebrated classic.

There is a free pre-show talk ahead of this performance with members of the company. Tickets are free but must be pre-booked.
