We are very excited that 2018 marks 50 years of our company performing in residence at the London Coliseum. On 21 August 1968 Sadler’s Wells Opera, which would become English National Opera six years later, performed Don Giovanni in our new home, the largest theatre in the West End. 50 years later, we are still committed to making great opera that is accessible to the widest and most diverse audiences.

To celebrate this milestone, we bring you our #50YearsofOpera video project, for which we are asking familiar faces from ENO’s past and present to share their favourite memories of the London Coliseum. For every week in 2018 you will have the chance to learn a little more about this wonderful building from those who have performed, worked, and attended countless performances here.
