Just in: English National Opera scraps two shows
NewsThe company says:
Due to complications caused by Covid during the rehearsal process, we are sorry to announce that the performances of Così fan tutte on Thursday 10 March at 19.00 and Saturday 12 March at 19.00 are cancelled.
We are extremely sorry that these performances cannot go ahead and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
This statement is buried on the ENO website and not shared on its social media.
Not very good communications.
“This statement is buried on the ENO website and not shared on its social media.”
It was certainly announced on their twitter feed yesterday.
If I bought tickets to something, I would expect a cancellation to be phoned through to me — in good time — as I do not participate in social media and I have never checked the website of an organisation before setting out. So if ENO did its duty by the patrons, it’s really nobody else’s business.
Are you serious? You expect a personal phone call? Most people would find an email perfectly acceptable (which is how most places would do it).
It was shared on their twitter account as well + ticket holders were contacted apparently
two shows or two PERFORMANCES?
hate to be picky, but “shows” seem to imply the entire productions…
To be fair they emailed ticket holders with this news several days ago
They are amazingly quick to update about Covid matters, though… but happily, even ENO has now dropped the pretence that it can enforce any mask-wearing now. But until this week, they kept wibbling on about how they were ‘mandating’ them. Which was bosh.
That’s a bit strange, considering Britain disposed of most restrictions a while ago, now. Maybe too much mask-wearing virtue-signalling going on when it wasn’t strictly necessary?
Wow. You really do hate ENO, don’t you Norman?!
