addition to a complete program in
French language and literature,
with access to University courses
for advanced students, the Insti
tute offers classes in English in an
American curriculum.

Children’s Opera Based
On Medieval Mystery
Brandy Hughes
On October 26 and 27 a unique
children’s opera, Noye’s Fludde by
Benjamin Britten, will be presented
in Memorial Hall. Under the direc
tion of Richard Bloesch, the opera
is a repeat of last year’s perform
ance.
The story is of Noah’s flood,
taken not from the Bible but from
a medieval mystery play originally
written in old English. The basic
Bible story was improvised and ex
panded upon, especially in the case
of Mrs. Noah. The plot of the
opera revolves around the attempts
to get her into the ark. Mrs. Noah
is pictured as an uncooperative
shrew, gossiping and drinking with
her friends, refusing to board the
boat until Noah and his sons finally
drag her aboard.
Since Noye’s Fludde is primarily
a children’s opera, many of the
characters are portrayed by child
ren. The seven groups of animals
and four of the six sons and their
wives are played by children. The
music will be provided by John
luele’s training orchestra.
Several unusual instruments will
be employed in the production.
Coffee mugs slung on a string,
played with a wooden spoon, simu
late raindrops. In addition, a wind
machine, a Chinese gong, sand
paper, a whip, drums, cymbals, two
pianos, and a pipe organ will come
into play. Three trumpets will
sound from the balcony. The hand
bell choir of the First Presbyterian
Church, as well as audience parti
cipation, will be part of the opera.
Salem’s Miss Samson, Miss
Roberts, and Beth Bobbitt will
supply their musical talents on re
corders and piano. Carroll Stegall
of Wake Forest and Jane Brooks
are cast as Noah and Mrs. Noah
respectively.
Since Noye’s Fludde was given
last year during semester break,
Salem students were unable to at
tend. Take advantage of this se
cond opportunity to see the most
unique production of the year. Stu
dent tickets are $1.00 for two even
ing performances at 8:15 and a
matinee at 2:30.
