To keep the pot bubbling between two full-scale, and mpressive, main-stage productions, Tayside often tried to produce something on a smaller scale. Here in what were described as 'workshop productions' (with no scenery and small band) in Dundee Council's Music Centre in Bell Street, two delightful chamber-scale one act comedies were put on. Bizet's Doctor Miracle and Donizetti's Campanello had another factor in common, in that the plots both hinge on one charcter adopting a series of disguises.

While Tayside had done the Donizetti once before (in 1970), the Bizet was a complete novelty.

Possible further dates to be confirmed.
