SYNOPSIS
Act One
Scene 1
Out on his rounds in the forest, the Gamekeeper takes a moment for a nap. The place is buzzing with crickets, grasshoppers and mosquitos. When he’s woken by a cheeky frog, the Gamekeeper notices a young fox cub. He quickly captures her and takes her home to entertain his grandchildren. The Forest Creatures mourn the loss of the Young Vixen.
Scene 2
Life is tough at the Gamekeeper’s house, where the Vixen is growing up. She and her companion, the Dog, bemoan their lack of experience in matters of love.
Scene 3
The Gamekeeper’s grandson Pepík, and his young friend Frantík, like taunting animals. When the Vixen fights back, the Gamekeeper’s Wife demands that the creature be punished. Tied up and left alone, the Vixen dreams.
Scene 4
The Vixen promotes the merits of socialism to the impressionable Hens, inciting them to rebel against the greedy Cock. When the Vixen’s ideas of revolution fail, she tricks the unwitting fowl and gobbles them all up. Just as the Gamekeeper arrives with his gun, the Vixen manages to chew through her rope and escape captivity.
Act Two
Scene 1
With the encouragement of the Forest Creatures, the Vixen kicks the Badger out of his sett and moves into his home.
Scene 2
The Gamekeeper is drinking in the local inn and teasing his unfortunate friend, the Schoolmaster, about a hopeless love from long ago, Terynka. The Gamekeeper himself is very sensitive whenever the Vixen is mentioned. It’s the Parson’s last night here before moving on to a new parish; he hopes that his life will improve in his new home.
Scene 3
Each on his own, the three drunken men stumble their way home in the dark. The Schoolmaster spots the Vixen and mistakes her for his lost love, Terynka. The Parson remembers an unrequited love from his youth, and the resulting humiliation he suffered. The Gamekeeper spots the Vixen and takes an unsuccessful shot at her.
Scene 4
The Vixen meets the Fox and after a short courtship she confides in him that she’s pregnant. They quickly legitimise their relationship, with the Woodpecker officiating at the ceremony.
INTERVAL (20 minutes)
Act Three
Scene 1
The Poacher, Harašta, and the Gamekeeper, bump into each other while walking in the forest. It looks like Harašta is to marry the Schoolmaster’s sweetheart, Terynka, which causes the Gamekeeper to accuse him of poaching.
Scene 2
The Vixen’s fox cubs notice a trap and wonder if the Poacher takes them for fools. Their father hopes for more children soon, though the Vixen seems to need a bit more time to adjust to motherhood. Out walking in the forest, Harašta comes across the foxes. Underestimating the Poacher’s power, the Vixen taunts him. Harašta takes a shot and kills her.
Scene 3
In the pub again, the Gamekeeper relays to the Schoolmaster how he has found the Vixen’s den abandoned and boasts that he will capture the creature soon. The Schoolmaster is upset to learn that Terynka is to be married. Both men hear from the Innkeeper’s Wife that the bride will wear a new fox-fur muff.
Scene 4
The Gamekeeper stops off in the forest on his way home and remembers the thrill of being a newly-wed many years ago. He basks in nature’s magnificence and wonders at the miraculous circle of life. He sees a young fox cub and remembers the little Vixen from years ago.
DIRECTOR’S NOTE
Most opera and theatre-goers expect to get to know characters on the stage, and often become caught up in the minutiae of their stories, plots and relationships. The Cunning Little Vixen is a different sort of opera.
In what Janáček called ‘this merry thing with a sad end’, we learn about the humans’ lives only through short episodes. They can come across as rather self-centred and unable to communicate with each other properly. The animals’ stories might be a little more connected, but they live moment to moment, so they don’t have much of a typical plot either. Yet the whimsical and episodic storyline, which might at first appear to be a flaw in the storytelling, is at the centre of what makes this opera a masterpiece. We don’t need to know the ins and outs of everyone’s life to appreciate that things don’t work out as neatly for all of us as most of us hope. By the time we get to the final scene, we can all take solace as we see the Gamekeeper (and perhaps Janáček himself) wondering at nature’s miraculous circle of life.
Lacking what we think of as a conventional narrative, it seems only natural to turn to the parallels between the two worlds. After all, Janáček specifically pairs the self-righteous Badger with the Parson, while the rest of the animals are given many human traits: various creatures backstab and gossip just like us, the foxes seek to legitimise their relationship through marriage, while Vixen promotes socialism to the oppressed Hens. Yet Janáček wrote to Universal Edition in 1927: ‘Only a hint should surface of the sameness of our cycle and that of animal life. That is enough. It is true that for most this symbolism is too little.’
Enjoying the fact that the opera as a whole insists upon the power of nature and the cycle of life, this production embraces the directness of the score, allowing the whimsical and episodic nature of the parallel worlds plenty of room to co-exist. With the humans and the animals borrowing the same materials from each other to create their own realities, we create an off-beat world that will be recognisable, but which will allow space for our imaginations to take flight.
