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.

Jack the Ripper: The Women of Whitechapel
Jump to Summary Introductory guide Media Synopsis
Set in 1888 in a London doss house, Jack the Ripper: The Women of Whitechapel is a new opera by composer Iain Bell and librettist Emma Jenkins which tells the real stories of the women whose identity up to this point has been defined only by their tragic deaths.

Mary Kelly, who runs the doss house with her grandmother Maud, is teaching her daughter Iris to read and write to give her a chance to have a better life. But as the darkness descends and Mary watches the women in her life start to disappear, the community turn to her to find a way out of the labyrinth.
