• Satanic panic! How horror films and heavy metal made an unholy pact

  31-10-2017 18:59
  Since Mario Bava’s 1963 film Black Sabbath inspired the Brummie band, metalheads and movie makers have shared a deal with the devil. We summon the filthy lyrics, moral panics and nostalgia of a genre that won’t dieHeavy metal and horror cinema, which have now enjoyed a mutually beneficial partnership for half a century, seem to be cut from the same unholy, blackened cloth.

• From me to you – the pop stars who’ve broken the Beatles’ chart records

  31-10-2017 17:16
  Niall Horan is the third former One Direction member to notch up a US solo No 1, matching Lennon, McCartney and Harrison. But Ringo and Paul can at least console themselves with the dozens of others they still hold …When the Guardian tailed One Direction around the US in 2012, we compared the scenes of fan hysteria to Beatlemania.

• Lucia di Lammermoor review – bloody and convincing

  31-10-2017 15:39
  Royal Opera House, London
  Katie Mitchell’s intelligent production of Donizetti’s opera - here on its first revival - takes plenty of worthwhile liberties, and soprano Lisette Oropesa as Lucia is sensationalLast April, Katie Mitchell was upfront about the “strong feminist agenda” she had for her new staging of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor, and that was enough to provoke spluttering. A feminist agenda – for a work named after a character who defies the wishes

• The Consul review – Menotti's clunky opera resists Guildhall's best efforts

  31-10-2017 14:04
  Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London
  A talented team do their best to breathe life into Menotti’s clumsy opera with its B-movie score and nightmarish tale of bureaucracy and secret police It’s hard to believe now that in the 1950s and 60s Gian Carlo Menotti was perhaps the most widely performed of all living opera composers, especially in the US, where his works seemed to bridge the divide between the opera house and musical theatre.
