The Cunning Little Vixen

Approved

Fra klaverprøvene på Den listige lille reven i Grieghallen, Bergen.

The Czech composer Leoš Janáček set a comic strip in the local newspaper in Brno so highly that he based an entire opera on it. The cunning little fox is becoming increasingly popular internationally, but has never before been staged in Norway. 

The opera is about the relationship between humans and animals and the great life cycle of which we are all a part. We meet all the forest's colorful creatures, and we follow the cunning little fox from his escape from captivity to his meeting with a glamorous male fox. 

Bergen National Opera's new production is staged by the Israeli choreographers and directors Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak. Their performances have been described as a mixture of comedy and cabaret, silent film and circus, absurdity and acrobatics. Pinto and Pollak have eight dancers from their own company with them who will portray all the creatures in the forest, both animals we know and magical mythical animals.

The in-demand young Scottish conductor Rory Macdonald makes his Scandinavian opera debut here. He leads the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, KorVest and an international team of soloists, led by the Scottish singer Iain Paterson. Paterson had his breakthrough with Sir Simon Rattle in Salzburg in 2007 and performs at many of the world's leading opera houses.

English

Den tsjekkiske komponisten Leoš Janáček satte en tegneseriestripe i lokalavisen i Brno så høyt at han baserte en hel opera på den. Den listige lille reven blir stadig mer populær internasjonalt, men har aldri tidligere blitt satt opp i Norge. 

Operaen handler om forholdet mellom mennesker og dyr og den store livssyklusen vi alle er en del av. Vi møter alle skogens fargerike skapninger, og vi følger den listige lille reven fra flukten fra fangenskapet til møtet med en glamorøs hannrev. 

Bergen Nasjonale Operas nye produksjon er iscenesatt av de israelske koreografene og regissørene Inbal Pinto og Avshalom Pollak. Forestillingene deres har blitt beskrevet som en blanding av komikk og kabaret, stumfilm og sirkus, absurditet og akrobatikk. Pinto og Pollak har med seg åtte dansere fra sitt eget kompani som skal fremstille alle skapningene i skogen, både dyr vi kjenner og magiske fabeldyr.

Den etterspurte unge skotske dirigenten Rory Macdonald gjør her sin skandinaviske operadebut. Han leder Bergen Filharmoniske Orkester, KorVest og et internasjonal lag solister, med den skotske sangeren Iain Paterson i spissen. Paterson fikk sitt gjennombrudd med Sir Simon Rattle i Salzburg i 2007 og opptrer på mange av verdens ledende operahus.
