The Times has published an eyebrows-raising piece on how much tax money each seat receives at the opera.

At Birmingham Opera it’s £173, Opera North £108, ENO £97, Welsh £60.

At the Royal Opera it’s only £34, despite the ROH receiving by far the largest subsidy – £24.8 million, twice that of ENO.

Work that one out.
