__NOTOC__
== Background ==
''Ghost Patrol'' was co-commissioned by Scottish Opera and Music Theatre Wales for the 50th birthday celebrations of Scottish Opera. It was developed under "Operas Made in Scotland", Scottish Opera's program to encourage new opera writing.〔Clark, Andrew (3 September 2012).

The plot of ''Ghost Patrol'' recounts the fall-out after heavy-drinking landlord Alasdair discovers that a homeless thief he has apprehended in his pub is someone he knows, Sam, who had been in the same army platoon as him. Once, they had "colluded in a traumatising atrocity".〔Christiansen, Rupert (31 August 2012). ("Edinburgh Festival 2012: Locked Room; Ghost Patrol, Traverse Theatre, review" )''. Daily Telegraph''. Retrieved 13 March 2013.〕 The opera has a running time of about 58 minutes and is scored for three singers (tenor, baritone, and soprano) accompanied by a small orchestra of 4 woodwind, 2 brass, percussion, harp and strings.〔Chester Novello.
