Further from the Fludde

More outstanding pictures of Noye’s Fludde in Tewkesbury: This time, they are the work of Malcolm Pollock (see his blog HERE: http://malcolmpollock.wordpress.com/  or follow him on Twitter HERE: @mj_pollock).

Malcolm is a musician himself, so was a particularly sensitive photographer of this opera. These fabulous pictures are all his copyright, of course, and I’m grateful to him for allowing me to use them.

Meanwhile, a lovely review by the esteemed opera critic David Nice has appeared on that highly respected review site, The Art’s Desk. There are two pages and David is kind enough to review both Noye’s Fludde and the Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra. About the Fludde, David said:

“The final protracted processional, all waving banners, bobbing heads and rushing exultation, was a Wagnerian vision I’ll never forget.”

    These are quite as artistic as young Lever’s shots. How lucky you are (not that you don’t deserve it!) to have this special event so well documented.

    Now off to deal with The Turn of the Screw and A Midsummer Night’s Dream for the Norfolk Coastal Operas project. Isn’t the latter one right up your street for design? Again, onwards!

      The pictures are terrific and yes, I am lucky. I was so busy myself, I’m thrilled others captured it all. It quicly becomes a hazy memory.

      I hope the Norfolk trip is good – lovely part of the world. And Midsummer Night’s Dream? Oh yes! I would LOVE to design it. The list grows longer…
