The English National Opera (ENO) will be coming to Greater Manchester. The globally-renowned company, which is currently based in London's West End, has announced that it is now working with local leaders on a plan to make the city-region its main home by 2029.
It comes after bosses at the organisation campaigned against a decision by Arts Council England to slash its funding unless it moves out of the capital.
News that the ENO could be moving to Manchester, which emerged last year, was met with fury in some quarters. But in July, an agreement was reached with Arts Council England in which £24m was awarded to the opera company to develop an artistic programme in a new base outside of London during the 2024-26 period.
After this, the organisation says it will be 'firmly established' within Greater Manchester by 2029, delivering performances and other activities at existing venues across the city-region.
