Scheherezade Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 If anyone who hasn't signed the ENO petition wishes to do so, please click on, or otherwise access, the link below. https://www.change.org/p/the-board-of-english-national-opera-save-english-national-opera We call upon the Board of English National Opera to reconsider its plans to turn the company into a part-time organisation. We urge it to seek solutions that will maintain the essence and identity of ENO, a company whose artistic success is vital to our cultural life. English National Opera's mission is to make the highest quality opera accessible to everyone. This is impossible without regular performances. We believe the artistic standards that the widest public deserve can only be achieved by a combination of the talent and experience of people working together consistently and frequently. ENO cannot afford to lose those who have guaranteed the achievements of the company over many years, and the Board must seek alternative solutions to balancing the current budget. ENO needs to re-engage with its audience to truly be the people’s opera company. The current proposals reveal a lack of understanding of the quality audiences expect, and of how that quality is achieved. We call on the Board to think more innovatively and positively in addressing its current financial shortfall so as to build an environment in which ENO can continue to grow and flourish. Save ENO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I saw a link to this on FB and signed several weeks ago. I would urge all our members to sign whether are opera fans or (like me) not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 It doesn't take long to sign the petition. It takes a little longer to read another side of the argument, presented in an open letter from the ENO this week:- https://www.eno.org/news/further-update-on-eno I will also put this up as a separate posting.
