A PRODUCTION of Jesus Christ Superstar has been nominated for an award.

Worle Operatic and Drama Society’s show has been shortlisted by the National Operatic and Dramatic Association for best opera.

Music director Laura Leadbetter said: “It is a big achievement.

“I think it has been recognised because everyone in the company really pushed themselves to achieve above and beyond what we’ve done before.

“It is a big piece to do and it is a big deal to be put in that category.”
