Simon Rattle conducts “Noye’s Fludde”
In 2013, the Berliner Philharmoniker celebrated the tenth anniversary of their Education Programme with a performance of Benjamin Britten’s children’s opera Noye’s Fludde. And there was a lot to cheer about, such as Britten’s sprightly score, full of catchy tunes but never simplistic. Then there was the imaginative staging which included an ark made from shopping bags – and of course the fantastic musicians conducted by Sir Simon Rattle.
Music with young people that is as much fun for the performers as the audience was the hallmark of the legendary dance projects of the Berliner Philharmoniker’s education programme. Just what electricity there can be between the Berliner Philharmoniker, young amateur singers and audience in a vocal performance was demonstrated in this 10th anniversary concert, which included Benjamin Britten’s children’s opera Noye’s Fludde.
