The Cunning Little Vixen
In 2014 Barminski collaborated with opera director Yuval Sharon to create an innovative version of Leoš Janáček's opera "The Cunning Little Vixen". Performed by the Cleveland Orchestra at the Severance Hall and conducted by Franz Welser-Möst, the production returned the opera to its comic-strip roots; Janáček was inspired by a daily comic strip that followed the adventures of a female fox called Sharp Ears. Barminski and Christopher Louie created a hand-drawn animated world that captured the simple yet beautiful world of the Cunning Little Vixen.
