Opera fable as a family piece
The young vixen Smart Head is captured by a hunter and taken away to civilization. But Smarty-pants wasn't born to be a pet and she doesn't care about rules. She starts a feminist riot in the henhouse and escapes. She finds love, freedom and happiness in the forest - but one day the hunter reappears ... Leoš Janáček's opera is a captivating fable about the human in the animal, the animal in the human and the cycle of life. The young singers of the OperAvenir opera studio perform this classic in an adaptation for young audiences.
