Irish National Opera's 20 Shots of Opera series features 20 new compact operas from composers in Ireland - watch The Wait, with music by Emma O'Halloran and text by Mark O'Halloran, above:
We sit and watch as white swans sail serenely by. Yet once in a while, along comes a black swan, and our world turns upside down. A horse drowns. Next door. We all observe. But who is the horse and who is the watcher? And will we be next? Wait and see.
Soprano: Naomi Louisa O'Connell
