British conductor Rumon Gamba conducts a strong cast led by Nicky Spence and Susan Bickley. A co-production with the Metropolitan Opera, which commissioned this version of the work, Two Boys was originally commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera/Lincoln Center Theater Opera/Music Theater Commissions Program, a collaboration that fosters the creation of new works. Two Boys is the first piece to be produced from that program.

ENO Wins RPS Audience Development Award
ENO was last night awarded the Royal Philharmonic Society (RPS) award for Audience Development 2011. The award was given for the 2010 site specific production of The Duchess of Malfi and the Access All Arias initiative, which enables 16-30 year olds and full time students to see ENO’s world class work for as little as £10.
The RPS committee commented, “ENO’s Access all Arias free membership scheme for students and under 30s has, over 5 years, attracted 15,700 members through targeted marketing and ticket discounts. This, together with the marketing of imaginative collaborations with other companies – in 2010 The Duchess of Malfi with Punchdrunk in a warehouse – is developing new audiences for the company’s wide repertoire.”
