Critically and publicly acclaimed, the English National Opera Orchestra has in recent years received several prestigious awards, including the Royal Philharmonic Society Music Award and an Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Opera. The Orchestra is at the heart of English National Opera’s artistic life, and as well as opera performances at the London Coliseum it has also been seen on the concert platform, at the Aldeburgh Festival (Peter Grimes and The Rape of Lucretia), and at Glastonbury in 2004 (Act III of Wagner’s The Valkyrie). Many of the players participate in the work of ENO Baylis, the company’s education and outreach department. The ENO Orchestra appears in many recordings as part of Chandos’ Opera in English series: Lulu, Falstaff, Otello, Ernani, Mary Stuart, Julius Caesar, The Barber of Seville, Rigoletto, La traviata, Werther, and a recording of the complete Ring Cycle conducted by Sir Reginald Goodall
