The Cunning Little Vixen | Jancek | Blu-Ray

Glyndebourne

London Philharmonic Orchestra / The Glyndebourne Chorus

Unsentimental parable of death and rebirth that lives through the instinctive and immediate world of nature, animal and human

• Melly Still’s production for Glyndebourne finds the ‘delicate balance between whimsy and mysticism’ (Daily Telegraph) at the heart of the opera

• Vladimir Jurowski conducts ‘with lustrous style: you can hear the birds in the score, feel the sunshine and thrill to the starlit night sky in the final scene’ (Opera Today)

• ​Lucy Crowe’s glowingly sung Vixen

• Magnificent sets, animal costumes which cleverly suggest human characteristic and stunning lighting designs

• Extra feature: ‘Creating Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen
