About us

ENO is founded on the belief that opera of the highest quality should be accessible to everyone. Musical storytellers At ENO opera is theatre; expressing drama through the unique combination of music, text, dance and design. We sing in English. We believe that singing in our own language to the drama on stage, and enhances the experience for all. We collaborate across contemporary art forms to reflect the growing diversity of our culture. And we take a fresh approach right across the repertoire, from baroque to contemporary, as part of our commitment to the future of the art form. Widening access We bring our productions to the widest possible audience, whether at the London Coliseum, nationally or internationally. We make our work accessible by offering a large proportion of tickets at affordable prices, and by distributing it widely on screen and via digital media. We also aim to introduce completely new audiences to the magic of opera through stimulating and creative participation programmes. Nurturing creative talent We are a national company of internationally recognised standard. We nurture talent across the entire company, whether on stage, backstage or in the pit. We provide a platform for young singers to develop global careers. Our vision ENO will be synonymous with making great opera accessible to the widest and most diverse audiences. We will continue to forge ground-breaking collaborations across art forms, and our world-class productions will inspire, surprise and captivate. We will be recognised as the national centre of excellence for developing opera, and as the benchmark for nurturing new talent. We will reach out to communities who might think opera is not for them. We will tell the world’s most timeless stories, unforgettably.

  • We are pleased to announce that we are taking part in the #ArtsForImpact match funding campaign. ENO Breathe, the award-winning online programme developed by ENO in collaboration with Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, has already transformed the lives of over 4,500 people across England. Initially created in 2020 to support individuals recovering from COVID-19 who continued to experience breathlessness and anxiety, ENO Breathe has proven to be a 'pocketful of hope' for many. Now, ENO Breathe is exploring how its innovative approach, combining breathing techniques with singing, can benefit those living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, and other respiratory conditions. This expansion will allow the programme to support even more people in regaining control of their breathing, reducing anxiety, and improving their overall quality of life. Thanks to the generosity of New Philanthropy for Arts & Culture, ENO Breathe has secured £10,000 in matched funds to help expand this pioneering intervention. This matched funding offers a unique opportunity to double the impact of support and ensure that more people can benefit from this vital programme. The continued growth of ENO Breathe marks a critical moment in respiratory care, combining the power of the arts with healthcare to offer a new approach to managing respiratory conditions alongside standard treatments.
