Leoš Janáček’s *The Cunning Little Vixen* (1924) is his most personal stage work and a poetic-philosophical parable about desire, transience, and the cycle of life. In Stephan Kimmig’s acclaimed Stuttgart production, vitality becomes the driving force of the evening, shaping both humans and animals alike. The Vixen appears as the untamable female counterpart, a force that challenges order and awakens longing. Natasha Te Rupe-Wilson will be appearing as the Vixen this season, with Diana Haller and Ida Ränzlöv sharing the role of the Fox, and Paweł Konik once again embodying the Forester. The chorus, children’s choir, and State Orchestra perform under the direction of Killian Farrell.
