Opera Buffa

I'm sure Stuart Murphy (St Mary's RC School Ilkley and Clare College, Cambridge) is highly qualified for his new role as Chief Executive of the English National Opera. He did, after all, commission two 'Flashmob' opera performances whilst at the BBC - one at Paddington Station and one at Meadowhall Shopping Centre in Sheffield.

Stuart left Sky in 2015, and a number of days in this interim period have been taken up running marathons and half-marathons with his partner, tv producer David Clews, with the pair dressed as Batman and Robin.



















Director of Sky Arts, Phil Edgar-Jones has been a member of the ENO Board since September 2016. Phil was appointed Head of Entertainment at Sky by Stuartin 2011, and to the Arts job by Stuart in 2014.

    At least having being at the BBC, he'll be familiar with the sensation of being in a sinking ship - very useful at ENO.
