Supreme Court judge quits ENO board
NewsThe Telegraph reports today that former Supreme Court Justice Supreme Lord Jonathan Sumption has resigned from the board of English National Opera in protest against Arts Council plans to move the company out of London.
In his resignation letter Sumption, 74, called the Arts Council a ‘philistine’ organisation and said its plan would ’emasculate’ the opera company.
We rather suspect that ‘philistine’ tag will stick.
