The Oxford Concert Party are mounting a performance of Benjamin Britten’s Noye’s Fludde in St. Mary’s Church.
Conducted by Ben Goodall, who conducts the Chipping Norton Choral Society, and directed by Pat Winslow.
Noye’s Fludde is a wonderful community opera based on a Chester Miracle play and the story of Noah’s Ark.
With a chorus of animals, four teenage girls who are Mrs Noye’s Gossips, Noye’s sons and their wives, Noye and Mrs Noye, a string orchestra, a group of recorder players, bugles and handbells players this amazing spectacle will fill the church .
