Ironic that the ENO costume dept made the @TheStage #Stage100 this time 2 years ago for the 2000+ sets of scrubs and PPE we made for @NHSEngland.
How proud we were.
Shameful that we’re fighting for our jobs now 😔💔

This is @jen_wilson77 Wardrobe show manager @E_N_O .A cover went on yesterday & while the show was going on Jen was quickly moving buttons & adding tabs to costumes to aid the singer’s performance. Part of her job, you might say, but her skill would be missed if she weren’t there

“I think I might have singed one of your crocheted blankets” might be one of the best lines ever 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you to @NadineDorries for confirming that, despite ACE suggesting otherwise, the removal of our funding was not advised by the Gov. In light of this, it would be useful for ACE to provide evidence as to why this decision has been made, without an opera strategy in place.
I’ve topped @TheStage 100 for moving @ace_national funding out of London to regions of the country where not a penny is received to support the arts as part of #levellingup
and blamed for lazy, politically motivated decision making at #ACE who shockingly cut £16m @E_N_O grant

Photographer Matthew Johnson spoke to members of the ENO to see how they were feeling about the news.

On 4 Nov ACE announced the removal of the ENO’s NPO status and consequent funding cut. Meaning the careers of singers, musicians, technical staff, creatives and other skilled workers both permanent and freelance will be at risk. (1/2)
This is @E_N_O at our best.
So glad you enjoyed the experience @VCKCWellbeing . Fingers crossed there are many more relaxed performances at the @LondonColiseum
We are at @E_N_O for a relaxed performance of It's a Wonderful Life and loving the extra activities and costumes provided! 🤗 @VCKCWellbeing #MentaHealth
❤️
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.
