	The Rhinegold @ English National Opera
		With this, the first part of Wagner's groundbreaking tetralogy The Ring Cycle, English National Opera finally returned to its refurbished home after the cancellation of both Nixon in China and the advertised first night of Rhinegold.
		English National Opera @ The London Coliseum, 27 February, 4, 6, 11, 13, 17, 19 March 2004
		However, it is sad to report that Phyllida Lloyd's new production of Rhinegold- the first new translation of the opera into English for thirty years - was at times both incoherent and, frankly, just plain boring.

	English National Opera choristers strike against job cuts
		Strike action by the 60 choristers at the English National Opera (ENO), forced the cancellation of the performance of Berlioz’s opera, The Trojan—The Capture of Troy, at the London Coliseum on February 25.
		A unanimous decision for strike action was taken after the chorus was informed by ENO that one third of their number was to be made redundant because of a financial crisis at the company.
		The plan of the present board of ENO to decimate the chorus is inimical to everything she strove for.

	Telegraph Arts ENO on the road to reinvention
		There are practical reasons for this - the design of the auditorium doesn't allow for either a screen above the stage or monitors on the backs of seats - but the real obstacle is the artistic directorate's distaste for a device that seems to detract from the purity of operatic communication in English.
		Opera buffs may find it a trifle dull, but this is no time to be taking risks.
		With the Coliseum out of action, ENO has been performing at the Barbican Centre this autumn, where houses have encouragingly exceeded targets and the reviews have been OK. There is more good news.

	Strike Hits English National Opera
		LONDON--The beleaguered English National Opera, whose management has recently sought to make budget cuts with a plan to make up to a third of its full-time chorus of 60 singers redundant -- i.e.
		The company, which faced going into receivership (the UK equivalent of Chapter 11 bankruptcy), was recently bailed out with a 4.1million pound ($6.4million) grant from Arts Council England, the national funding body that subsidizes it.
		ENO's chairman, Martin Smith, insists that the redundancies are necessary if the company is to survive, though Equity, representing the affected performers, claims that the plans save only 120,000 pounds ($188,000) out of an annual 30million pound ($47million) budget.

	New Statesman: The magician of the opera - English National Opera Director Paul Daniel
		English National Opera Company / Officials and employees
		ENO has a lot to learn, he says, from American opera-commissioning, with those pieces such as Harvey Milk (homophobia in high places) and Jackie O. Daniel, sensing no danger, warms to his theme while I sweat through a sudden vision of where this nice man's first truly adverse publicity will come from.
		Daniel's interpretation of the "national" in ENO's title does not exclude plugging the geographical holes other companies can't reach.

	Review of Siegfried, English National Opera
		ENO's new production of Siegfried is, unsurprisingly, part of a new Ring cycle.
		The only slightly odd feature was that there was nothing to satisfy the scripts references to Brünnhilde's horse, and the characters bizarrely pretended it was at the top of a red rope which Siegfried pulled down, as if to wrap up the opera.
		The cause of the rumblings was partly why I didn't go to the first two operas.

		BECTU is poised to run an industrial action ballot among members working for English National Opera, after the company's final offer on pay and conditions was rejected.
		Despite the breakdown in talks, union negotiators said that they were still willing to reach a new agreement with ENO which incorporated some of the changes sought by management.
		However, if no conciliatory moves are made by the company, BECTU plans to ballot its members in ENO for industrial action, and is expecting solid support for its efforts to win a better deal.

	PlaybillArts: News: English National Opera Spokesman Puts Derogatory Comments in Context
		An English National Opera spokesman claims that derogatory comments made earlier this year by opera chair Martin Smith were taken out of context, the BBC News reports.
		The ENO spokesman said that Smith’s full comment, which was meant to disprove—rather than emphasize—opera’s elitist reputation, was, “We put [The Ride of the Valkyries] on in front of 50,000 people who had never heard or hardly knew how to spell opera, and they were compeletely and utterly riveted by it.”
		In addition, the spokesman said that Martin’s remarks were protected by “Chatham House rules”—that they were spoken in confidence and should not have been leaked to the press.

	What is the English National Opera for?. Robert Hugill asks the question and, whilst previewing the forthcoming season, suggests three possible answers
		Anglophone opera singers take their proper place in the opera world and ENO can no longer cast from a pool of distinguished singers who are underused and undervalued elsewhere in the operatic world.
		During the redevelopment of the London Coliseum, the company has suffered a crisis of confidence and high-turnover of artistic directors which has many parallels with the Royal Opera House's experiences of rebuilding.
		It is a question that might have puzzled some of his illustrious predecessors; Lillian Baylis, Lord Harewood and the powerhouse trio (Mark Elder, David Pountney and Peter Jonas) all had a clear vision of the function of their company.

	Review Siegfried. English National Opera Guide 28 - Computer Toaster
		In the third of Wagner's four Ring operas, we meet the loutish young hero, Siegfried, a muscular boor who knows no fear, and Mime, the dwarf who has reared him since the boy's mother, Sieglinde, died in childbirth.
		Mime is the brother of Alberich (the evil dwarf who set the events of the Ring in motion by stealing the gold of the Rhinemaidens and forging the eponymous ring of power), and extreme unpleasantness seems to be a family trait.
		The extraordinarily elegant presentation not only invites you into another world, but Sabor's clarification and mythic understanding of Wagner goes far beyond anything that is available to the reader so far.

		Handel - Ariodante / Bolton, Murray, Rodgers, English National Opera (1996)
		The plot, as often happens in baroque opera, is riddled with improbabilities, exaggerations, and coincidence, but they matter not at all.
		That said, I have to say that this production of Ariodante, one of Handel's most beautiful operas, was one of the most ridiculous and disappointing experiences we've ever had with an opera, and has made us really wary of crossing the pond to go to anything else at the ENO.
