Noah's Flood

A few weeks ago our church put on a children's opera called Noye's Fludde by Benjamin Britten. It was written just for children and all the children's choirs at our church participated. The parts of Noah, Mrs. Noah, and the voice of God are played by adults and all the other participants are children. Even almost all of the musicians were children as well! Emmie and Ellie are part of the cherub choir and Ellie decided that she was not up to all of the rehearsals (two 2hr rehearsals and one 2.5hr rehearsal) so just Emmie participated.

Emmie had a GREAT time. She was a bird :)

Beautiful birds and sweet friends!

The performance was great. Ellie was greatly opposed to even going to the performance but once it started she LOVED it!

The picture isn't super clear but if you look closely you can see that the kid on the end is playing MUGS! How cool is that?

After the performance there was a reception. I happened to walk through while they were setting up. Chef Rich did an AMAZING job with the food and check out his ark! He put blue jello all the way around (this picture was taken before he was finished) and the ark even had little animal crackers in it!
