“Opera brings together an extraordinary range of creative disciplines and is at its strongest when it welcomes ideas that challenge, inspire and expand what the art form can be. I am thrilled to welcome the inaugural Artists’ Table and this remarkable group of artists. Their insight, experience and creativity will help shape our thinking as we deepen ENO’s relationship with Greater Manchester and the wider North West, and support our ambition to create an environment where innovation can flourish and where artists and communities can play a meaningful role in shaping the future of opera."Annilese Miskimmon, Artistic Director, English National Opera
The Artists’ Table forms part of ENO’s growing programme of initiatives and partnerships developing artists, skills and talent across the North West. Together, they create pathways from first experiences and training through to professional artistic development, experimentation and the creation of new work.
