I cannot begin to imagine the feelings at ENO today… most incredible,wonderful company, unthinkable to have a British Opera scene without it. That the members were served redundancy notices MID-PERFORMANCE last night is cruel, wicked, thoughtless beyond belief. Thoughts with all

REPOSTING WITH CORRECT TAG: Last night the management of the @E_N_O sent out redundancy notices to chorus and orchestra, timed to be read in the interval. What a shoddy, disgusting, shameless way to behave.The entire board should hang their heads in shame. slippedisc.com/2024/02/exclu…

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

English National Opera plans to downsize its orchestra and chorus and employ those who remain on part-time contracts, with a drastic reduction in salary.
This is a direct consequence of Arts Council England removing ENO from the National Portfolio in November 2022 🧵

Playing an instrument makes life better. Singing makes life better. Being in a band makes life better. Being in a choir makes life better. Being in an orchestra makes life better. Listening to music makes life better. Going to concerts makes life better. Music makes life better.

Following recent reduction in ACE funding, we have made the difficult decision that WNO will no longer tour to Liverpool. We are deeply disappointed, having toured to the city since the 60s, and would like to thank @LiverpoolEmpire and our audiences for the support over the years

As a creative, my passions are centred around exploring what’s missing from the #arts, shining a light on the topics that have been left unspoken and challenging the norms of the industry. I have a passion for #physicaltheatre and constructing my own innovative new works.

'light & bright' is a personal exploration of mental health and the effects of a late adhd diagnosis. combining spoken word and movement the piece encompasses an individual perspective of acceptance.
