In Leos Janacek's folk-inspired The Cunning Little Vixen, experience
the story of a clever young fox cub, Vixen Sharp-Ears, her escape from
captivity, and her coming-of-age in the forest. Split between the
human and animal worlds, this opera features a cast of hens, fox cubs,
crickets, grasshoppers, and many more, all thrillingly brought to life
by Janacek's lush and colorful score, featuring the rhythms and
melodies of Moravian folk music. After she is trapped and taken home
by the human Forester, Vixen Sharp-Ears must escape imprisonment, find
a new home, and look for love in the big, wide world. Meanwhile, the
Forester and his friends experience love, loss, and renewal, seeing
their human woes and caprices reflected in the never-ending circle of
life. This story is brought to life by two casts and an orchestra of
talented University of Tennessee students. Performed in English with
English supertitles above the stage. Please note that balcony-level
seating is accessible only by stairs; there is no elevator access to
