So as it looks like next year's summer season is one production which is a commercial hire rather than a co-production, anyone know what the financial difference is for the ENO? Presumably for the co-productions they share the risk, but also any potential profits and maybe income from future runs of the same production (eg the Sunset Boulevard tour). So I guess this paid off for Sweeney and Sunset but maybe not since.
Then for a commercial hire they have a guaranteed but fixed income + also the income from the bars and restaurants?

Also frees up the orchestra, chorus* and stage staff to work on more exciting projects like Britten, Handel and Dove operas *Although not sure how that works as they on a part time contract now |

They should just stage Hunchback of Notre Dame with the massive choir and orchestra and be done with it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Im fairly sure ENO's Sunset Blvd was not associated with the tour that followed. The tour was produced by Curve and David Ian, whilst ENO's was a copro with GradeLinnit co. Ria Jones being the only link between the two. |

My most favourite musical to come along for a long time - Disney should have the guts to put that version on. It would be ideal for ENO. Perhaps we should send lots of emails to Grade/linnet?? The La Jolla version wasn't shown as a Disney was it? It was a Stephen Schwartz musical and he is rewriting it for a new stage version, but that choir really made it something else! Also Titanic is another great choice.

Forget Hunchback, Disney's Aida should get an ENO revival!

Correct. The tour was a completely different production.

Disney have just said they are looking at a "new updated" version of Aida only recently.
