Congratulations to ENO for the coverage they’ve got out of the complete non-story of Paul Whelan singing from the wings at Lucia on Saturday. Nearly every TV news programme, and plenty of print media besides, have fallen for it. I don’t know if the team at ENO did it themselves or if they got an agent in but they’ve done a great spin job. Well done to them.
