[Dulciethecat]

Very strange to have adults singing the children's parts!

[leitfie3579]

Sound quality isn't great, but it seems good - and I do like the set.

[ryuzakineark]

lol either this is a crappy video, or my compulsory high school production of this is better with amateur singers lol.

I played 'cello for this in about 1978. We didn't have Iggy Pop for the voice of God though. Good post, thanks.

[Brownmuscle2007]

my brother said the children didn't learn the lines well enough and adults had to sing them

[chrish12345]

re. the song beginning at 5.25 - Apperently this is where 'The Streets' got there inspiration for 'Dry your eyes mate' :/

Were no kids available to sing the sons and daughters of Noye? That's rather disappointing given Britten specifically states in the score that those parts are written for children to sing, with perhaps only the oldest son Japheth being a changed voice.
