I really wouldn’t start a statement with ‘we are pleased to announce’ when everything about this is utterly devastating for most of those who work at ENO! To take this company out of London and leave the city with one opera house is madness. F*** the Tories and your culture war!

English National Opera performers and staff face an uncertain future as the company moves to Manchester. Our reporter Katy Ronkin has the story...

Reinstate the English National Opera's ACE Funding immediately - Sign the Petition! chng.it/kTQqMC4C via Change.org UK

My incredible colleagues at ENO are voting on whether or not to strike. We all want music to be open to people of all backgrounds. If there are no viable jobs at the end of studying, only privileged people (like me!) will be able to pursue a career in music! #FairWageOnStage

You can show your support for ENO chorus members taking strike action next week on Thursday 1 Feb, by signing this petition: megaphone.org.uk/petitions/fair… If opera is to be truly accessible, it must pay and treat its workforce fairly.   #FairWageOnStage

The ⁦Musicians' Union⁩ and ⁦English National Opera⁩ have reached an agreement that sees strike action cancelled. But the MU is calling on the UK government to—among other things—write off or delay repayment of Covid recovery loans and reverse Nadine Dorries’s ⁦Arts Council England⁩ diktat.

Alcindoro at English National Opera. 2 performances down 7 to go. Loving every minute. Great show, come and see it..

Glorious Rigoletto at the Coliseum. I’m slowly getting the hang of opera & there are no productions more accessible than the English National Opera’s. Under 21s can go free. #ENORigoletto
