Supported by Concordia Foundation, The Robert Gavron Charitable Trust, The Hinrichsen Foundation, the Holst Foundation, The Nicholas John Trust, the Tillett Trust, The Tippett Trust, the Stephen Oliver Trust and a great many very generous individuals. 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. GluePritt-stick, U-HU, Araldite, Copydex, Evo-Stick, Grip-Fix, PVA, Gloy..Miss TreatIt all makes sense to her. He doesn't get it.
