How about a vocal piece where each singer puts his head in a wheelie bin? The brown one would be a baritone, the green one soprano, the purple one counter-tenor....

I think we would have needed a Malcolm Arnold for that one!

John W.  What a splendid and original idea.  Perhaps one of the composers posting here would oblige with, say, a suitable vocal quintet.    S.A.T.B. + Counter Tenor.  This could "take off "and become a serious fad.  I feel that a work for chamber choir would result in too many bins upon, perhaps, a smallish platform.

My Lord Byron.  Unfortunately it is sometimes thought that an aristocrat is mad.  This, I feel, is because of the belief that the aristocracy tend to suffer from extreme inbreeding.
Yours in understanding and kindness.
S'wave.

While doing some salad for lunch I could not think about an opera called mr. Bin.

With simple and humble demeanor
You stand outside with closed lit.
Oh, bin my, my fellow companion
Why never you go inside.

All people are damping their garbage  (easily translates into rubbish)
inside, but they don't give a thought
how world goes around and round
but bin is important like (speaker of the house?)

Party for number 200 new commer.

Of, course for a performance we'd have to have cameras inside the bins to 'see' the performers  Cheesy

Adventures of Mr Bin. May be he can fall in love,
unless it is she and then she can fall in love.

Lord Byron can write a poem on bin in love.

Ho John W.  Do you not think that the bins would be better with windows in them (glass, perspex) to show the faces of the performers?  This would also have the advantage of ensuring they were only used for performances and not for garbage - unless, of course, the work being performed was garbage.
Cheers

Heavens, S`wave. This is starting to sound very Beckett. As to the problem of too many bins on a small stage, this could be overcome by having a chorous comprising of pedal bins. They are well-known for being less temperamental and, indeed, are a pleasure to work with.

Pedal bin chorus, brilliant!

With the lids lifting and heads sticking OUT at the required times!

Ho dear MorticiaaaAAA!  Your suggestion re pedal bins is interesting.  Do you not think, however, that the performers to be contained by them would have to be persons of restricted growth - and fairly intense restricted growth?
Cheers

The Landfill Oratorio

the plot could start from a rumour that none of the green bin's stuff gets recycled but some council workers are just dumping it with the brown bin stuff ..... sending shockwaves round the bin community!

There will be a nude scene I hope. I like people making fool of themselves. Beside it will attract people who don't come for bin's operas.

May be bin collectors are in nude. Here we have a dance of bin collectors.
Or may be you fancy town concil in a nude as a punishment for mixing up bin collection.
