There is no good way to go about this, but this is just about the worst way they could have gone about this. Just awful.
The ENO emails started arriving during Act 1 of Handmaid’s Tale last night. What a despicable way to treat your musicians.
Wow what a shock. I did not know this when ENO orchestra came on stage after last night’s performance. Professionals through and through.
I cannot begin to imagine the feelings at ENO today… most incredible,wonderful company, unthinkable to have a British Opera scene without it. That the members were served redundancy notices MID-PERFORMANCE last night is cruel, wicked, thoughtless beyond belief. Thoughts with all
Hard to fathom the callous treatment received by #ENOChorus #ENOOrchestra. What makes an arts organisation so contemptuous of its indispensable creatives? This ensemble deserves so much better. Sick of receiving ‘ENO Friend’ emails from a company bent on harming its lifeblood.
Barely a moment has passed since the good news from the BBC… now this. Just awful. My heart continues to ache for ENO. Cruel beyond comprehension. 😢💔

The ENO board and senior management need to be sacked.
The level of callousness at ENO beggars belief: telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/1…
Well, this @E_N_O self-immolation is scorching a lot of collateral damage as it burns. 'ENO Trust' and 'Trustees' - a loaded term, or ought to be. It kind of implies 'trust'.
With the news from ENO, the onslaught on all the things Britain really is good at - the arts, science, publishing, the universities, etc - continues. When will our leaders ever learn to value the things we do so well?
To all musicians in ENO chorus & orchestra, you are AMAZING. The insensitive actions of others will have left you feeling anxious and lost today but you have the support of an army of people who care and see what’s going on. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. ❤️

Thoughts are with the wonderful ENO musicians 🙏 @ace_national @E_N_O #loveENO #ChooseOpera
“The ENO would like to remind all our singers & musicians to please feel free to bring your entire, authentic selves to work, but only until the interval, when we’ll sack you.” Kudos to all the performers & musicians who returned to finish this performance. Speaks volumes.
P9 @Telegraph - The Handmaid’s Tale - English National Opera at the London Coliseum - "ENO sacks performers during interval singers and musicians returned to stage to finish the show, despite being notified of redundancy."
At ENO, musicians got their redundancy emails during the interval of a show. During the interval. And then carried on with the performance because they are professionals, which cannot be said for the people running the place.
REPOSTING WITH CORRECT TAG: Last night the management of the @E_N_O sent out redundancy notices to chorus and orchestra, timed to be read in the interval. What a shoddy, disgusting, shameless way to behave.The entire board should hang their heads in shame. slippedisc.com/2024/02/exclus…
