Tchaikovsky is giving audiences a serious confidence boost as Opera North’s Eugene Onegin spills its youthful, passionate and perilous love affair onto the Lowry stage.

The Silence of the Lambs is one of the most memorable thrillers on page or screen. Its disconcerting performances and eerie lines stick with you for all the right reasons and as the film celebrates 35 years of striking villainy, the Lowry welcomes Dr Lecter to the stage for a live demonstration.

You may have barely escaped the grasp of High School Musical in 2006, but Disney’s straight-to-TV movie is back with a vengeance, celebrating 20 years of catchy pop bops and bringing its infectious, nostalgia kick to the Lowry audience.
