English National Opera

English National Opera (ENO) is founded on the belief that opera of the highest quality should be accessible to everyone. The company's approach to opera is dynamic, aiming to express drama through the unique combination of music, text, dance and design, all sung in English. ENO collaborates across contemporary art forms, reflecting the growing diversity of our culture. This approach extends to their repertoire, from baroque to contemporary, demonstrating a commitment to the future of the art form. Widening access to their productions is a central goal for ENO, whether at the London Coliseum, nationally, or internationally. They prioritize affordability, making a large proportion of tickets available at accessible prices and distributing their work widely through screen and digital media. Additionally, the company is dedicated to introducing new audiences to opera through innovative participation programs. Nurturing creative talent is another cornerstone of ENO's mission. As a national company of internationally recognized standard, they provide a platform for young singers to develop global careers and nurture talent across all aspects of their productions. In essence, ENO envisions being synonymous with making great opera accessible to diverse audiences, while continuing to forge ground-breaking collaborations across art forms. They aspire to be recognized as the national center of excellence for developing opera and for nurturing new talent, reaching out to communities who may not have previously considered opera to be for them. Their goal is to tell the world's most timeless stories unforgettably.
