LA PETITE RENARDE RUSÉE / PROGRAMME / Bastille / JANVIER / 2025
Description
It's not easy to tame a fox! The gamekeeper, who installs one in his home, learns this the hard way, especially as he is dealing with a particularly cunning animal, feminist and even revolutionary, calling on the hens in the barnyard to revolt against the rooster and "forge a new world"! Alas, if freedom allows her to find love, the little fox will pay a high price...
Premiered in Brno in 1924, Leoš Janáček's work, with its orchestration as lush as the nature it describes, is a score apart in the history of opera, where foxes, crickets and grasshoppers are rarely the heroes of the story.
A fairytale fable, an allegory of human life, a hymn celebrating the eternal renewal of life and nature, Little Cunning Vixen is directed by André Engel, whose fields of sunflowers harbor the nostalgia of childhood.
