Aspiro 20th Anniversary Concert Series in collaboration with Carlow College of Music and the Royal Irish Academy of Music, 29th April 2018, Carlow Cathedral.
I played violin in our school orchestra and we put on a production of Noyes Fludde at Pear Tree Church, Southampton for 3 nights. It was a memorable time!
I’ve loved this Britten work for many years, and listen to it at least once a year. I’ve longed to see a full scale production, but they are as rare as hens' teeth. Now I know why-it takes a massive collaboration of music schools for all ages, artisans, choreographers, and a conductor with nerves of steel. Treat yourself, it's a delight.
This is a good performance but a bit technically flawed, and not really a great "spectacle'. The Canadian version is, I believe, the only truly successful production on RU-vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kan4oDbuUJM.html&start_radio=1 The television direction is simply brilliant, the singer/actors wonderful. Such a shame it has not been published in a high quality format, and this low quality segmented form is all we have.
I've been in NF twice, once as a wolf, an once as a gossip (I was hopeless at ringing the tea- cups). Both were full-scale productions in churches in Chelsea, London. Always good to hear it again😊
This opera really is a rich masterpiece, and so moving. I've so wanted to make a film of it. I sang in it in Suffolk under the supervision of Britten himself.
Wonderful! This is what music should be: participatory and inclusive of people of all backgrounds and abilities, but never pandering or trite. We need more community operas like this visionary work.
Ah, someone who sees it too. Immersive, engaging, immediate. Breaking the fourth wall and letting everyone in. Can only think of Pantomime that does something similar.
❤Congratulazioni, bellissima esecuzione! Alcuni anni fa quando i miei figli, un ragazzo e una ragazza, erano piccoli hanno partecipato, con il loro conservatorio, alla messa in scena di questa bellissima opera, erano nel gruppo dei flauti barocchi. È stata una grande emozione per tutti, dai più piccoli ai più grandi ❤
Hoy, junio 5 de 2019, a esta misma hora se esta ejecutando la opera El Arca de Noé en el marco de la catedra Garcia Marquez, realismo magico. Obra participativa con mas de 400 coristas y musicos de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Que emocion ser contemporane de tan bellos retos artisticos y académicos.
Randomly watching this video while formatting a report late at night by myself with my headphones on. At 33:37 I nearly had a heart attack. Creepiest audio insert imaginable.
