The top executive directors of the eight banks that could take part in the Government's rescue plan were paid £72m between them last year. That's nearly £2m each. Many of them earned far, far more but this is the average. Over the same year, shareholders in most of those banks – namely Royal Bank of Scotland, HBOS and Barclays – have lost their shirts.

Among the greatest and best-loved operas, very few depend on behaviour unimaginable today. Rape, revolution, murder, suicide, infidelity, exile, corruption, poverty, sickness and greed still make the headlines, and a good production of a good opera can make a 400-year-old drama seem to happen in the now. Altogether trickier are those operas in which nothing of particular consequence happens, in which characters of apparent spunkiness run their lives as parlour games, and in which the score is second-rate. Such an opera is The Secret Marriage: Domenico Cimarosa's Beaumarchais-lite comedy about love between the classes.
