Follow the adventures of Vixen Sharp Ears, a spirited young fox, as she draws you into her forest world; and meet a cast of woodland creatures and the humans they cross paths with in a series of quick, dreamlike scenes. Leoš Janáček’s music, full of vibrant folk melodies and lush sounds, paints a picture of life in the woods—the joy and the sorrow, the turning of the seasons. It’s a story that feels like a fairy tale, but dig a little deeper and you’ll find themes of life, loss and the wild beauty of it all.
