ETO to relocate to Sheffield by October 2024 as part of the Arts

Council England Transfer Programme

English Touring Opera (ETO) is delighted to announce the city of
Sheffield as the company’s new home, and will relocate its offices

there by the end of October 2024 as part of the Arts Council England
Transfer Programme.

The decision is a result of an extensive and ongoing consultation
process with ETO staff, performers and technical teams, as well as

partner venues and organisations, local councils and schools to ensure
the greatest positive impact on the widest possible audience. 85% of

ETO’s work already takes place outside of London, and therefore
exploring options as part of the Arts Council England Transfer

Programme was a natural extension of the company’s mission to make
exceptional artistic experiences available to all. ETO brings
outstanding live productions and impactful education and community

projects to thousands of people across England each year, visiting
more towns and cities than any other UK opera company.
