„The Cunning Little Vixen“ by Leos Janacek at Deutsche Oper Berlin; staged by Katharina Thalbach and Ezio Toffolutti; premiere in June 2000; Filmed during a peformance in December 2015.
„I am creating the Little Fox the way the Devil catches flies - when he has nothing better to do. I wrote the Little Fox for the forest and for the sorrow of my later years.” Leos Janacek wrote. But his opera THE CUNNING LITTLE VIXEN is certainly not the melancholic retrospective of an old man who feels himself closer to death than to life. Although the composer was in his late sixties, he created a work full of comic and poetic moments. Offsetting the „sorrow of his later years” we are given a merry and melancholic fable embracing both death and the comforting knowledge that death leads on to new life.
