Janáček The Cunning Little Vixen
English translation by Norman Tucker
An enchanted forest comes to life in a wooded glen on a summer afternoon. A clever Vixen is captured by a Forester, but she outwits him and escapes. As the story unfolds, she encounters many woodland animals along the way before finding love with a Fox and having cubs of her own. But her dealings with the Forester are far from over – he sets a trap, but then realises the splendour of nature all around him in a life-affirming final scene.
Exploring the cycles of life and nature, Janáček combines dance, folk music and sensuous orchestral interludes in this beguiling and thought-provoking opera.
Tickets: £10, £20, £30, £40, £50

Handel Theodora 180’
Kieran will feature as a Britten Pears Young Artist in the first course of 2018, Handel’s Theodora. Renowned British Handelians Sarah Connolly and Christian Curnyn prepare this dramatic oratorio in masterclasses before presenting a concert performance as part of Snape Maltings’ Easter Weekend programme.
‘Find anything exciting happening in period opera in the UK and [Christian] Curnyn will be involved’ says The Spectator. True, Handel’s Theodora is technically an oratorio rather than an opera, but the inspiration, characterisation and sheer emotional power of this tale of martyrdom and loyalty in the early Church give it a sense of drama that sweeps all before it. Ceaselessly inventive, its scenes of meditative contemplation of love and faith contain some of Handel’s most ravishing music.
