Opera should be performed in car parks and pubs to survive, claims Arts Council boss
In plans announced last Friday, Arts Council England said it was removing the company from its grant portfolio, resulting in a funding cut of £12.6 million each year from 2023 - meaning the ENO is set to lose around a third of its income.
"The swelling overtures, glorious sets, rousing choruses and breath-taking arias create an overwhelming, eternal sense of awe," he said. "Fresh thinking helps the art form reimagine itself and remain exciting and meaningful to future generations of audiences and artists," he said.
