NOYE'S FLUDDE BY LOCH SHIEL
An Tuil Ruadh faisg air Loch Seile
Glenfinan Church

Based on a 15th century Mystery Play, Benjamin Britten’s
musical drama is a work of extraordinary passion and
ingenuity. It is scored for a handful of professional musicians
and two professional singers. All other parts are taken by
children or amateurs.

Our production is a unique collaboration between a range of
Lochaber’s amateur music groups and some of Britain’s most
acclaimed artists. The animal choir is made up of primary school
children from all parts of the region, all wearing head-dresses
made by artists, both local and from many other parts of the world.
The artists have been asked to highlight animals which are
particularly at risk in their own area and their work will undoubtedly
ensure much visual excitement.

Conductor Sue Perkins, winner of BBC2’s Maestro competition in 2008,
will be working with Musical Director Charles Mutter and Production Director
Christopher Josey to make sure Noah’s Ark survives the flood in
spectacular fashion.

Make sure you’re aboard!

Noah: Richard Strivens (bass-baritone)
Mrs. Noah: Mary Carewe (mezzo soprano)
Voice of God: James Naughtie

with the Loch Shiel Festival Orchestra and Children’s Choir

Conductor: Sue Perkins,  Director: Christopher Josey

Tickets: adults £ 10, children £5
