Their last collaboration was "the greatest triumph achieved by any New York musical institution in 2010" — The New York Times. Now Music Director Alan Gilbert, director/designer Doug Fitch, and the New York Philharmonic invite you into the woods, with Avery Fisher Hall transformed into a fantastical forest filled with talking frogs, singing mosquitos and badgers, and one very fetching little fox. Leoš Janácek's poignant tale of the vixen and the forester who captures, and then loses, her comes vividly to life through gorgeous music, imaginative production by Giants Are Small, a stellar cast, and the majestic sound of the New York Philharmonic. Reserve your seats today. Performed in English.
