Scottish Opera offers hugely discounted tickets to people under the age of 26. In fact most of the theatres here do, usually for around ยฃ10. Which means you could see a whole live show for less than the cost of a ticket to one of Timothee Chalametโs films. Just saying.
Listen back to this week's RTร lyric fm Lunchtime concert, broadcast live from @rte.ie Studio 1 on Wednesday:
