闯补苍谩膷别办 The Cunning Little Vixen
Sung in English

Immerse yourself in the Britten Theatre as it is transformed into a forest for 闯补苍谩膷别办鈥檚 opera The Cunning Little Vixen. Playful parallels are drawn between animal and human life, hinting at shared characteristics while revelling in the variety of nature.

Through a tender series of snapshots of everyday mundanities, we witness love, longing and loss, made all the more profound through 闯补苍谩膷别办鈥檚 lush orchestral writing intermixed with folk tunes. This is an opera about the power of nature and the cycle of life, and this production promises to lean into the chaos and episodic nature of the work, embracing Vixen鈥檚 own untameable wildness.

With the generous support of Aline Foriel-Destezet

The RCM Opera Studio is supported by the Patrick & Helena Frost Foundation and Old Possum鈥檚 Practical Trust

This production will go on sale from Wednesday 8 October, or Wednesday 1 October for those with priority booking (RCM Friends and supporters at Core Contributor level and above)
