English Touring Opera (ETO) is an opera company in the United Kingdom founded in 1979 under the name Opera 80 by the then-existing Arts Council of Great Britain. In 1992 the company changed to its present name. Today it is sponsored in part by Arts Council England [1] as well as receiving support from individual and corporate sponsors, plus trusts and foundations. The company aims to bring high quality opera to areas of England that would not otherwise have ready access to such productions. From 2002 its Director was James Conway,[2] who came from the Opera Theatre of Ireland. It was announced in January 2022 that he was stepping down,[3] and his successor was revealed in March 2022 as Robin Norton-Hale.[4]
