About English National Opera:

English National Opera is founded on the belief that opera of the highest quality should be accessible to everyone.

Musical storytellers
At ENO opera is theatre; expressing drama through the unique combination of music, text, dance and design. We sing in English. We believe that singing in our own language connects the performers and the audiences to the drama on stage, and enhances the experience for all.

We collaborate across contemporary art forms, to reflect the growing diversity of our culture. And we take a fresh approach right across the repertoire, from baroque to contemporary, as well as commissioning new works as part of our commitment to the future of the art form.

Widening access
We bring our productions to the widest possible audience, whether at the London Coliseum, nationally or internationally. We make our work accessible by offering a large proportion of tickets at affordable prices, and by distributing it widely on screen and digital media.

We also aim to introduce completely new audiences to the magic of opera through stimulating and creative participation programmes.

Nurturing Creative talent
We are a national company of internationally recognised standard. We nurture talent across the entire company, whether on stage, backstage, or in the pit. We provide a platform for young singers to develop global careers.

We tell the world’s most timeless stories, unforgettably.

Jenůfa is an opera in three acts by the composer Leos Janácek.

First performed in 1904, Jenůfa is an opera of overwhelming emotion. Janácek’s powerful orchestration was influenced by traditional folk music, and his vocal melodies pay close attention to the rhythm and inflections of Czech speech.

Describing a gritty tale of honour, love and sacrifice, Jenůfa explores the stigma of pregnancy out of wedlock against the backdrop of a small claustrophobic community.

Jenufa by Janáček, From (2016/2016), Directed by David Alden, Conductor Mark Wigglesworth, London Coliseum, London, United Kingdom
