The English National Opera (ENO) has released a statement announcing it will start the process of applying for an award of up to £24 million from Arts Council England (ACE). ACE has set this provisional budget for the 2024-26 period.

In the statement the ENO also mentions that its future plans will be ‘based on a reimagined artistic and business model’ which will see the company move its primary base outside of London while continuing to own and perform at the London Coliseum. The ENO will also aim to be ‘in a strong position’ to apply to become an ACE National Portfolio Organisation from 2026.
