SUMMARY:Noah's Flood
DESCRIPTION:  \nNoah’s Flood is based on a 15th-century play recounting the story of one family’s resilience in the face of an earth-shattering storm. Composer Benjamin Britten wrote this opera just a few years after experiencing a devastating flood in his own coastal town. Nearly 70 years later\, climate resilience has taken an even greater spotlight.  \nUnder the baton of David Angus and in collaboration with Boston Children’s Chorus\, Boston String Academy\, Back Bay Ringers\, Boston Symphony Orchestra\, New England Conservatory Preparatory School — and more — hundreds of Boston area youth alongside BLO artists will come together to bring you a timely\, tour-de-force event. \nNoah’s Flood is made possible by BLO supporters who are invested in building the next generation of opera lovers in Boston. Join BLO in its first community opera uniting Boston through music\, collaboration\, and fun — a perfect outing for the whole family! \n\n\n  \nThis event is made possible by the generous support of the Mattina R. Proctor Foundation. \nBy arrangement with Boosey & Hawkes\, publisher and copyright owner \nNoah’s Flood is part of BLO’s Rising Waters/Rising Voices initiative. \n\nSponsored in part by Polaris Capital Management \n  \nLEARN MORE
