2Tristan und Isolde, Wagner, Richard
C: Peter Selwyn
Tristan und Isolde from The London Opera Company at St John’s, Smith Square ****
Simon wilding, seen as fafner in Longborough's production Siegfried last June, was a moving Marke who captured the dual blow that the king feels in discovering Tristan is (supposedly) disloyal, and realising that he is nothing without the hero's support.

Die Walküre, Wagner, Richard
D: Garth Bardsley
C: Peter Selwyn
Fine and characterful singing as Die Walküre is heard once more in Wagner-starved London
Simon Wilding’s jet-black Hunding proved the perfect foil to Volsung Lenz, another considered and highly dramatic portrayal.
