Opera singing in North Korea 

Listen to the item

Suzannah Clarke is an opera singer from Middlesbrough.

Last year, she was invited by the North Korean government to visit their country, and she has since become something of a star there.

When she was invited back again earlier this year, she took her mum, Sheila, with her. When Suzannah and Sheila came into the Home Truths studio, John asked Suzannah how she’d become Middlesbrough's ambassador to North Korea.
