English-language opera is at the core of ENO’s founding principles. In future seasons we will be reinforcing this commitment by placing English opera at the heart of our programming. The foundation of this is the work of Benjamin Britten. Over the next five years, ENO will perform one work of Benjamin Britten in each season, as well as showcase productions of favourite British composers. We are delighted to be creating the English Opera Group which will support this initiative over the forthcoming years. The English Opera Group is named after Britten’s company of performers which he created to perform his operatic works. Our annual Britten production and our focus on English composers in each season will require significant investment from enlightened donors. Donations of £5,000 per year for the next three years are sought to contribute to the production costs. Members of the English Opera Group giving at the level of £10,000 per year will receive recognition as Founding Patrons of the English Opera Group.
