There are other modern works that have been inspired by Noah's Flood. This includes an operatic play by Igor Stravinsky.

This is a visualization of Stravinsky's work in 1963. This piece utilizes a lot of modern technology such as special effects. Now, on a personal note, I find this filmed version somewhat off putting. I believe that the use of modern technology and images was perhaps to try to bring this story into a more relatable place, as , like Shakespeare, there are many people who find older styles of language confusing. But personally, I feel like it takes away from the story.
