SAINT Mary’s Cathedral is hosting a reunion for all those who contributed to the success of their 2014 production of opera, Noye’s Fludde. This will take place at 4pm next Saturday December 12 and is occasion for the launch of a Noye’s Fludde DVD, available to the parties involved. In the spirit of Christmas and beautiful, embracing music, this will be followed by the festive ecumenical concert/ meet and greet, ‘Come and Sing Carols’.
‘Noye’s Fludde’ was a City of Culture collaboration between the Cathedral, educational partners, generous sponsors and media partner RTE Lyric FM.
Benjamin Britten’s classic opera transformed the Cathedral into a hub of community activity and attracted over 1,700 people to the six performances.
Of next Saturday’s anniversary event, Peter Barley, musical director, states: “This is a chance to catch up with everyone who was involved and worked so hard on the production.
“What made this production truly special was the bringing together of around 120 talented local youngsters from the community, and providing them with a platform and the opportunity to work together with professionals.”
