Don’t know Daniel Stephen Johnson? You should…
This is his hasty mashup of Jimi Hendrix’s “Foxy Lady” with this New York Philharmonic promo depicting soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian getting into character for Janacek’s opera The Cunning Little Vixen (see http://nyphil.org/vixen for more info).

The New York Philharmonic offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian (Vixen Sharp Ears) as she tries on her costume, designed by director Doug Fitch, and has her first movement session with Mr. Fitch and Bennyroyce, assistant to choreographer Karole Armitage.

The fully-staged opera makes its New York Philharmonic debut, led by Music Director Alan Gilbert, June 22-25, 2011, at Avery Fisher Hall.
