There were 900 new participants for ENO Breathe, which exponded with a new progromme forAirways Disease, working across North West London NHS Trust and NHS Greoter Monchester. Also in Manchester, we launched PERFECTPITCH with locol orgonisotion Walk the Plank, engaging 250 local football fans and choir5. 24/25 has been a tronsformotionol year for ENO with the announcement of the first wave of plons for o major new portnership between the Compony ond the city-region of Greoter Monchester, o criticolly ond financially successful opera season at the London Coliseum, the ongoing expansion of our pioneering ENO Breothe progromme and a visiting company season which broke all box office records. This hos been a very successful yeor for fundroising with the Development teom exceeding its chollenging torget. I wont to thonk oll our supporters, donors, businesses and grant-makers who have given so generously. The range, scale and ambition of ENO'5 work is simply not possible without your support. On 24th November2024, ENO lounched key projects for the fi15t three years of its major new partnership with the city-region of Greater Monchester. The programme involves a multitude of local partnerships, covers every ospect of opera production ond celebrotes the possibilities of the ortform. It includes mojor contemporory works, new work development in opera, ENO cla551CS, interdisciplinary experimentation5, opera by, with and for communities and career pothwoys for the opera- makers of the f uture. I would olso like to tokethis opportunityto thonk Arts Council Englond, whose generous Notional Lottery grant funding ha5 enabled us to deliver wide ranging public benefit through opera throughout 24125- in London, Greater Manchester and notionally. I wont to thonk our CEO, Jenny Mollico ond her teom for oll their dedicotion and hord work in delivering a transformational and financially posltive 24/25. Sadly,Jenny will be leaving u5 in the Summer of 2026 in order to take up the role of CEO ot the Roundhouse. Her contribution to ENO has been significant and she will be missed. Recruitment for o new CEO hos begun. Our Artistic Director, Annilese Miskimmon, delivered another successful season at the London Coliseum, providing audience5 Wlth a rich and varied repertoire. Jonothon Miller's much-loved productions of La bohème and Rigoletto still resonate powerf ully with oudiences. Our successful series of 'semi-stoged' operos continued with Annilese's powerfully relevont production of SuorAn9elico and a timely revival of Mory, Queen of Scots graced by the attendance of its composer, Theo Musgrove. We reconnected to the work of Benjomin Britten with a suitably unsettling new production of The Turn of the Screw,. ond were reminded thot opero con moke us lough os well os crywith an inventive new production of The Elixir of Love and revivals of The Pirotes of Penzonce and The Morriage of Figcro. Following the retirement of Harry Brunjes, I was elected by the Board as Interim Chair at the end of February, and then Choir in mid-November 2025. Harry has been a superb Chairman, serving for longer than ony previous incumbent in this post. He has been bold, brove ond generous,. steering us through turbulent times with determination. I thank him on behalf of the Board and the company for leading u5 to the success of this post yeor, and the prospect of an exciting future. Our visiting compony progromme brings in new oudiences to the Coliseum. A regulor highlight is the English National Ballet season which, this year, brought enchanting productions of The Nutcracker and Gi5elle. Over the summer, SpiritedAway, odopted from the famous animated film, sold out ond delighted oudiences. Louise Jeffreys Chair, ENO
