The Cunning Little Vixen (animated film adaptation)


May 2004

by Arlo McKinnon

"Because the opera was recorded in a film studio, the singing technique employed is non-operatic - a much lighter approach. Still, the singers rise to the occasion, delivering pleasing renditions throughout. Of particular merit is Grant Doyle's performance of the Forester's huge aria that ends the opera, though part of the dramatic impact is lost because of the cuts made. But Doyle's interpretation still has a great deal of emotional power, and is only enhanced by the beautiful animation."
