Georges Bizet's "Noah," an opera in 5 acts. It tells of the events occurring immediately before the deluge and what triggered them. Bizet's father-in-law Jacques Fromental Halévy ("The Jewess," "L'éclair") started working on the opera. Bizet was only allowed to marry if he would promise to finish composing the opera.
