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.

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
