Arts Council England (ACE) has announced it is to extend funding for the English National Opera (ENO) until 2018.
Back in February 2015, the funding body announced that ENO would not be admitted into its national portfolio of organisations for 2015-18.
However, ACE noted that the ENO had made good progress in implementing improvements since the announcement. As a result of this additional funding, the organisation will receive a further £12.38m in backing.
Harry Brünjes, ENO chairman, said: ‘We are very happy that ACE have confirmed our third year of funding. We continue to work closely together to ensure the continued financial stability of ENO.
‘We are working hard to meet the long-term challenge to ensure that ENO is able to continue to produce artistic work of the highest quality whilst remaining financially stable. We are very happy to have the continued support of ACE as we tackle these challenges over the months and years ahead.’
