Noye’s Fludde
Our original community production of Noye’s Fludde (2023)
On 5th July 2023, two hundred young performers and four hundred audience packed out St Gabriel’s, Pimlico for our original production of Benjamin Britten’s community opera. The performance followed six weeks of educational workshops in five of our partner schools using the story as a tool for teaching about climate change, rewriting traditional hymn texts and unleashing the creativity of the Pimlico community.
After being tipped off that a flood is coming, Noye (played by Gareth Brynmor John) enlists the help of the Pimlico community to help build a boat big enough to survive. This summer, the Pimlico Musical Foundation launches its most ambitious project yet, bringing together hundreds of local schoolchildren, teachers, volunteers, and professional musicians to transform St Gabriel’s, Pimlico into the world of Noye’s Fludde.
