Itโs always a special moment when your understudies can go on, and especially so when itโs two gems like John Findon (Peter Grimes) and Adam Sullivan (Bob Boles). Such charged and energetic performances throughout, and a huge response from the crowd. Big. #ENOGrimes
Congratulations to ENO Harewood Artist John Findon and ENO Chorus member Adam Sullivan for stepping in to perform the roles of Peter Grimes and Bob Boles last night ๐ A brilliant performance from both ๐๐๐

Tears rolling throughout act 2 of ItsAWonderfulLife last night. A stellar show that was heartwarming and made even more so with the challenges that ENO face. May you have guardian angels @E_N_O#ChooseOpera#LoveENO
And this glorious chorus did two shows on Wednesday, a new opera for their repertoire last night in concert at the Coliseum and early morning carols this morning! We are so lucky to have them amongst us x
Astonishing reaction from the 1700 strong crowd @E_N_O relaxed performance of #itsawonderfullife my Children 3 and 1 included. Absolutely riveted. #LoveENO#CHOOSEOPERA I was in full teary flow waving at my kids from the stage hoping and praying that it will not be the last time.
As we get ready for the final performance of The Yeomen of the Guard tonight, we're looking back on this special performance of Gilbert & Sullivan's 'I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General' from @jsavournin that we surprised audiences with during the run.

Your President @LyndaRooke protesting @ace_national's callous cutting to @E_N_O#LoveENO
Members of @E_N_O chorus sing โYouโll Never Walk Aloneโ outside Arts Council Englandโs London office this morning.
Supporters and creative unions called on the council to โreverse [their] decision to remove ENO as a National Portfolio Organisation with effect from April 2023โ.
Cuts are wrong: they are economically illiterate and they are morally inexcusable.
Our GS @paulwfleming at the save @E_N_O protest today from @ace_national cuts

@ace_national@HENLEYDARREN What utter hog wash. Putting on cut down versions of operas in pubs and car parks is fine. But itโs not seeing the operas as intended. And where is the support for orchestras choruses etc? ENO is one of the few non elitist places you can see proper opera at affordable prices.
@CamillaKerslake@adamlsullivan There were lots of babies there. Having a box helps as a bit of space or crawling about is good and lots of snacks. There are chill out spaces too with screens. We popped out a couple of times for nappy changes. Children are welcome to roam about and fidget.
