Curtis Opera Theatre's "The Cunning Little Vixen" Receives Rave Reviews

Curtis Opera Theatre’s 2023–24 series recently closed with a critically acclaimed production of Leoš Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen at the Kimmel Center’s Perelman Theater. Directed by John Matsumoto Giampietro, conducted by Curtis alumnus Vinay Parameswaran (’13), and featuring a cast of rising young opera stars, members of the Curtis Symphony Orchestra, and young singers of the Philadelphia Boys and Girls Choirs, this 20th-century masterpiece received raves by both OperaWire and Parterre Box.

Read Francisco Salazar‘s review of this “spectacular” and “powerful” production, with “passionate playing” and “promising young singers” at OperaWire. 

Read David Fox‘s review of this “enchanting and deeply moving event” at Parterre Box, which not only praises Curtis’s talented singers and musicians but commends “a production that would have been at home—indeed, something to celebrate—at any opera company anywhere. I loved it so much I went back the next day.”

Curtis Opera Theatre’s upcoming 2024–25 centennial series promises even more exciting operatic thrills! For details, click HERE.
