Relaxed Performance: The Cunning Little Vixen

In the wild, we return to our true nature.

The relaxed performance of The Cunning Little Vixen will take place on 26 February 2022 at 14.30

Relaxed performances are for everyone, and they may particularly benefit those who might normally find it challenging to access theatre. This might include anyone with dementia, learning disabilities, an autistic spectrum condition, Tourette’s syndrome, sensory disorders, anxiety, bladder and bowel conditions, and those with young children or babies.

You may choose to attend a relaxed performance because of an access issue, or because you prefer a more relaxed and inclusive environment.

About The Cunning Little Vixen

The Cunning Little Vixen can be seen as a light-hearted story about a mischievous fox, and the antics she gets up to in the forest. It can also be viewed as composer Leos Janáček exploring the fairy tale genre, blending comedy with tragedy, and leading to a touching philosophical reflection on the nature of life and death.

The fox finds herself taken home by a forester to be kept as a pet as a little cub. The opera follows her into adulthood, as she seeks to escape the forester and what happens after.
