YOUNG opera singers are putting on a performance inspired by creepy crawlies at an event on Sunday.

Members of Opera North Children’s Chorus, based in Newcastle, are performing the Spiders’ Revenge at Durham Town Hall, in the city’s Market Place, this Sunday.

The chorus was launched more than a year ago and involves children aged between eight and 13, who meet weekly to sing.

Jacqui Cameron, Opera North education director, said: “We’re always looking for exciting new venues for our Children’s Chorus and so are delighted to be performing The Spiders’ Revenge in the historic surroundings of Durham Town Hall.”

The performance lasts around half an hour and starts at 4pm Tickets cost £3 for adults or £1 for under 16s. They are available from www.operanorth.co.uk.
