Melly Still's production for Glyndebourne finds the delicate balance between whimsy and mysticism (Daily Telegraph) at the heart of the opera, which Vladimir Jurowski conducts with lustrous style: you can hear the birds in the score, feel the sunshine and thrill to the starlit night sky in the final scene (Opera Today).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/video_preview_TRANSPARENT_BACKGROUND_30a0ff65-0287-4c13-bbbd-5e3e11ba4ed7_480x480.png?v=1628091169\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CQvLOfbvRwE\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/REVIEWS_TRANSPARENT_BACKGROUND_8b7033fe-1bd9-4daf-b78c-a786428391ec_480x480.png?v=1628091158\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/REVIEWS_TRANSPARENT_BACKGROUND_8b7033fe-1bd9-4daf-b78c-a786428391ec_480x480.png?v=1628091158\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Lucy Crowe's glowingly sung Vixen ...Tom Pye's Hockneyish designs are evocative of a world of childish wonder, with animal costumes which cleverly suggest human characteristic.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e (The Daily Telegraph)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"I was entranced throughout.
