English National Opera is the national opera company dedicated to one simple aim: making opera for everyone.
We sing in English to be as accessible to the widest possible audience. We create opera that feels different, more theatrical and creatively daring. We’ve been doing this to an internationally recognised standard since being founded in 1931 as Sadler’s Wells Opera. We believe opera should be accessible to all, so our opera tickets start at just £25 including all fees.
We bring together artists from different art forms, from photography, sculpture and fashion to dance, slapstick comedy and puppetry, all adding something new to the extraordinary art form that is opera.
