We connect to audiences through inspiring, accessible, world-class opera and stimulating, creative participation programmes.
We create our productions for the widest possible audiences and aim to introduce completely new audiences to the magic of opera whether at the London Coliseum, outside of our theatrical home or internationally.
We make our productions accessible by offering a large proportion of tickets at affordable prices, through our attendance schemes and our ENO Baylis learning and participation programmes.
We work with a wide range of visiting companies to generate essential revenue and welcome new audiences to share the experience of our theatre.
