Simply delightful

ENO's gimmick-free Orfeo is a pleasure, but the RO's Wagner doesn't ring true

Peter Sidhom▓s Alberich maintains his expected high standard, and the Norns (Catherine Wyn-Rogers, Yvonne Howard and the ear- pricking-up Marina Poplavskaya, from the RO▓s young artists programme) and Rhinemaidens (Sarah Fox, Heather Shipp and Sarah Castle) are all good.
