According to a story in the U.K.'s Daily Mail, Lonny Price is "in negotiation" to direct for the English National Opera. It is also stated: "Contracts for Emma and Terfel have yet to be fnalised, though both have agreed in principle to participate." The production would be the first in a series of musical theatre partnerships that have previously been announced that ENO will stage with Michael Grade and Michael Linnit.
According to press materials at the time the iniative was announced, "This partnership will harness the world-class producing and technical teams at ENO and the commercial experience of Grade and Linnit. The aim is to attract even broader audiences to the London Coliseum – which has a long history of staging great musical entertainment – and help to develop audiences for both opera and music theatre."
Further details are yet to be announced.
