Opera lovers in Aberdeen are in for a treat next weekend as local youngsters take to the stage alongside a professional theatre company. Aberdeen Phoenix Youth Theatre will be performing Aida and Turandot at Aberdeen’s HM Theatre, alongside Ellen Kent Amphitheatre Productions.

Ellen Kent, director of the professional theatre group, has been working with young performers from Aberdeen for 15 years in an attempt to boost their stage careers. For the last time, Mrs Kent will bring her touring opera productions to Aberdeen on May 7-9.

On May 7 the two groups will perform Giacomo Puccini’s opera Turandot. The next two nights, HM Theatre will see the groups performing Giuseppe Verdi’s tragic love story Aida.
