Well, Akhnaten is a fascinating and hypnotic theatrical experience that I'll be thinking about for a while to come. Anthony Roth Constanzo gives an extraordinary lead performance and the skills team from Improbable display some highly technical, even virtuosic, juggling prowess!
This is the first time I've seen an ENO opera at the London Coliseum since I was at school (they used to put on regular, subsided opera trips).
I didn't even know Akhnaten when I booked my ticket but I've been listening to a recording of the work since then and I absolutely love it. So excited to be seeing a performance.
I loved Phelim McDermott's work on My Neighbour Totoro and can't wait to see what he and Improbable have done here.
It’s a Wonderful Life, Frank Capra’s timeless Christmas movie, is transformed into a timely opera at the English National Opera starring the mesmerising Danielle De Niese

The petition calling on ACE to reinstate @E_N_O's funding has now passed 50,000 signatures - do keep sharing, and if you haven't already, please sign:
@Warycat The whole thing stinks of incompetence, ineptitude and ignorance. Needless to say it's got Nadine Dorries written all over it.
See the hashtags #LoveENO and #ChooseOpera on twitter and Facebook for details of campaigns to get ACE to change their minds.
