Experience the dramatic biblical tale of Noah's Ark brought to life at Southwark Cathedral. Feel uplifted by a very special performance celebrating the 60th anniversary of Britten's Noye's Fludde at the setting of its London premiere. Hear legendary entertainer and original cast member Michael Crawford in the speaking role of the Voice of God, plus amateur instrumentalists depicting animals and nature through magical musical effects under conductor Martyn Brabbins. See members of Finchley Children's Music Group, founded by Britten especially for this one-act community opera, represent the pairs of animals that joined Noah and his wife in the ark.
