The ENO has announced a cast change for their 2025/26 season.

Sir Willard White has withdrawn from performing the role of Superintendent Budd in Britten’s Albert Herring at the London Coliseum and Lowry, Salford in October 2025.

As a longstanding ENO artist, we would like to thank him for all his support and work on this production to date.

We are pleased to announce that stepping into this role is bass-baritone and former ENO Harewood Artist Andri Björn Róbertsson. Róbertsson reprises this role following his performance at Grange Festival in 2017.
