“Really appreciated the Under 16s and Under 21s ticket access for our children as this made the show for our whole family. Loved it”
“I got the tickets through the 16-20 scheme which I think is a really excellent idea. The performance was beautiful, the subtitles made it easier to understand and the singers were so wonderful. I’d highly recommend and will definitely be coming again!”
“The ENO provides the perfect environment for people to get into opera, it felt really welcoming. Being new to opera I am more willing to go regularly because you make it affordable so thank you!”
