The 2012 Glyndebourne Festival opened on Sunday 20 May with a new production of Janácek’s The Cunning Little Vixen, directed by Melly Still. The London Philharmonic Orchestra appeared under Principal Conductor Vladimir Jurowski.

‘Vladimir Jurowski led the LPO in a rapturous account of the score, giving point to all the skittishness in the music yet keeping the focus firmly on its poetic sensibility; if you want to hear why I love this composer so much, just listen to how this orchestra plays him under this conductor’
Melanie Eskenazi, MusicOMH.com

The Cunning Little Vixen continues until 28 June. More information, including booking details and full creative team and cast details, here.

Later this summer at Glyndebourne, the London Philharmonic Orchestra will perform Rossini’s La Cenerentola under James Gaffigan, Puccini’s La bohème under Kirill Karabits, and a double-bill of Ravel’s L’heure espagnole and L’enfant et les sortilèges under Kazushi Ono.
