Following the sell-out success of The Flying Fox at BAC Opera 98, Tete a Tete presents Shorts a programme of world premieres of ten minute operas by the cutting edge of British composers - chance for all the artists involved to experiment wildly together, and show that contemporary opera can be entertaining, uplifting and dangerous. Seven Tons of Dung - Dreams, friendship, romance, poetry, cannibalism and the search for Nirvana on a cow-pat. Doggone - During the First World War, 7000 dogs were recruited by the British Army for active service in the trenches. This is their story. Platform 10 - The days of steam have long gone, but the railway platform still holds nostalgia and intrigue for our two fans - Nigel and Gerald. The Nightjar - After Michael's death his parents moved away, to begin a new life. But the past would not let go.
