The Cunning Little Vixen - 29 Nov

Experience Janáček’s whimsical opera exploring love, longing and loss, showcasing the extraordinary talents of rising stars from the Global No. 1 institution for Music and Performing Arts. 

Through a tender series of snapshots of everyday life, playful parallels are drawn between animal and human life, hinting at shared characteristics while revelling in the variety of nature – made all the more profound through Janáček’s lush orchestral writing intermixed with folk tunes. 

Directed by Orpha Phelan, be moved by this off-beat yet authentic world inspired by Vixen’s untameable wildness, that insists upon the power of nature and the cycle of life.

Please note this production contains gunshot sounds, and themes of kidnap and death. The production also uses haze.

Why not visit the RCM Museum and explore one of the richest collections of music-related objects in Europe, including the earliest known guitar and the earliest stringed keyboard instrument. Last entry to the RCM Museum will be at 5.15pm.

The RCM café bar on the ground floor opens from 5pm, serving a range of wines and bottled beverages in addition to barista-style coffees, sandwiches and snacks.
