English National Opera musicians call off strike action after agreement reached

ENO agrees to revise plans that triggered dispute, after negotiations with Musicians’ Union

Musicians in the English National Opera have voted to halt all strike action after reaching an agreement with the organisation after a dispute that has rumbled on since mid-January.

After negotiations with the Musicians’ Union (MU), the ENO agreed to revise its plans, which triggered the dispute and involved making all of the chorus, orchestra and music staff redundant before re-employing them for six months of the year.
