In the week of his 70th birthday, Opera on 3 celebrates Simon Rattle with a recording of the piece which made him want to become an opera conductor - Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen in a semi-staged performance with the London Symphony Orchestra. A top cast including Lucy Crowe and Gerald Finley bring Janacek's folk-infused opera to life. The plot centres around the vixen 'Sharp Ears', and her relationship with a Forester who captures her, and is a touching journey through the cycles of life and death.
