  • Shell Shock is een opera gecomponeerd door Nicholas Lens en met een Engelstalig libretto van Nick Cave. De opera werd uitgegeven door Mute Song te Londen. De hoofdpersonages van deze opera zijn, naast de angstaanjagende Engelen des Doods ("Wij drinken adem") voornamelijk de stille slachtoffers van oorlog, zoals de moeder, de weeskinderen, de onbekende soldaat, de koloniale soldaat, de doden, de vermisten, de deserteur, de overlever, etc. De personages vervallen in andere personages en helpen elkaar om elk hun individueel verhaal te vertellen. Shell Shock is het eerste operalibretto van de artiest Nick Cave. Dit libretto wordt beschreven als uiterst expliciet en voor een opera zeer ongewone teksten zoals (in Canto of the Mother) Fuck God – Fuck the Flag. (nl)
