abstract:The Cunning Little Vixen (Czech: Příhody lišky Bystroušky, lit. Adventures of the vixen (female fox) known as Sharp-Ears, and, until the 1970s, generally referred to in English as Adventures of Vixen Sharp-Ears) is an opera by Leoš Janáček, with a libretto adapted by the composer from a serialized novella (daily comic) by Rudolf Těsnohlídek and Stanislav Lolek, which was first published in the newspaper Lidové noviny.
But when it comes to unorthodox subject matter, Janacek may have outdone even himself with TheCunningLittleVixen, basing it on what was essentially a comic strip.
