With Opera North offering a season of inventive takes on traditional opera, our own Jennifer McGregor (Opera queen) decided to interview the feisty Elena Xanthoudakis who is currently performing in The Abduction, to find out what inspired this talented, award winning young woman to commit the world of opera.

[rating:4/5] Scottish Opera and the Glasgow Royal bring us one of the more 'kinky' operas that focuses on the dirty world of infidelity.

[rating:3/5] The Festival Theatre finally delivers the answer to those annoying posters that have been covering its glass walls...neds Vs goths?

[rating:4/5] These fantastic Phillip Pullman stories are bought to the Festival's stage by a melange of puppetry and visual stimulation in two parts.

[rating:3/5] I want to be in America...

Before you go and sing along about America, Jenni Gould gives us some more serious things to think about...like politics and stuff...

[rating:5/5] The last in the season at the Lyceum promises to go out with a bang...or does it?

[rating:5/5] Flawless night at the theatre.

[rating:3/5] Andrew O'Hagan's tale of a confused priest comes to the Traverse with a new adaptation from Ian McDiarmid (who also takes it upon himself to star in the thing)...

[rating:4/5] The Traverse and Vanishing Point bring us a spectacular visual treat that Ross Kinghorn has the pleasure of enjoying.
