Hadn't realised the back row of dress was only £20 - think it used to be more? No view of surtitles, but a bargain particularly for Akhnaten which doesn't have surtitles! Anyway - looking at booking again and there are no weekend performances for Noye's Fludde either. So basically two out of the three I was interested in, I can't see unless I take a day off work. So f*ck them basically, they deserve to go bust. Edited to add - OK, there is actually a matinee of Noye's Fludde on Saturday 13th July. But you can't book it on the ENO website, only via Stratford East. So my comment on them deserving to go bust still stands  Anyway, top tip - Stratford East charges no booking fee, ENO charges £2.25. |

Still no email from ENO. Obviously my business is not important to them
Regardless I booked yesterday, I can’t beleive a £2.50 booking fee per ticket. I know they have to make money but a booking fee is such a F**k you type of statement, why not just make each ticket 2.50 more expensive ?

Having looked again I'm even more confused about Noye's Fludde.
There are 16 performances on the Stratford East website (every day except Sunday between 1st and 13th July), compared to 7 on the ENO website (all evening, no weekends, only a single matinee).

My first time with secret seats, hoping it works out; La Boheme, Magic Flute and Porgy & Bess. On pasta or rice until September!

Main Stage New productions Salome Porgy and Bess War Requiem Merry Widow Jack the Ripper Revivals Lucia Arknaten La Boheme - interestingly (and thankfully) the Johnathan Miller production Magic Flute Plus Dido - Unicorn Theatre Noye’s Fludde - Stratford East Ah - bit of digging for Ripper - composed by Iain Bell 'Jack the Ripper' at ENO with a cast including Dame Josephine Barstow, Susan Bullock, Lesley Garrett and Alan Opie, conducted by Martyn Brabbins. That maybe makes it possible that La Garrett might be doing Hanna in Widow as well. |

Women of Whitechapel Jack the Ripper. Does anyone know if this based on the book by Paul West of the same title?

War Requim
Musically it’s very good. Chorus and Emma bell really stood out
But the production is inert and I think added nothing to the piece, thankfully it’s respectful and not set in the Coventry branch of Woolworths in the 1930’s but that’s about it.
After Traviata and now Requiem I wonder how long DK can last for
