Closed Coronavirus ENO Coliseum

The empty auditorium of the London Coliseum, home of English National Opera ENO, remains closed for performances during the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown, on 7th July 2020, in London, England. The UK’s theatre ticket revenue contributes £1.28bn to the nation’s economy, in which there are 290,000 jobs 70% are at risk so the government has announced a financial rescue package for the Arts industry, a £1.15bn support for cultural organisations in England that is made up of £880m in grants and £270m of repayable loans. But theatre and opera companies such as ENO, whose last performance was The Marriage of Figaro on 14th March, will stay closed for the foreseeable future until there are changes in social distance and safety guidelines. The 2,395-seat Coliseum 1904 is a Baroque revival Wrenaissance style theatre, built as one of West Ends largest and most luxurious variety theatres.
