- Auditor
- HaysMac LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees have assessed the charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting which contemplates the realisation of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of activity for the foreseeable future The ACE NPO grant allocation to 2026 along with the company cash flow projections, based on management estimates and judgements, indicate sufficient cash reserves to continue trading for the duration up to and beyond the current NPO grant period.”
Significant events
- “The year saw us continue our strategic relocation to Sheffield, a move that represents not just a change of address but a new chapter in ETO's story Following extensive consultation and planning through our Transfer Committee, ably chaired by Jane Davies, we opened our new headquarters in Sheffield in October 2024.”
- “Our autumn season explored the rich tradition of folklore through Judith Weir's Blond Eckbert and Rimsky-Korsakov's The Snowmaiden, while our spring season celebrated Shakespeare's enduring influence with Bellini's The Capulets and the Montagues and our innovative new production What Dreams May Come.”
- “We welcomed Madeleine Tattersall and Charlotte Forrest to the board, bringing fresh perspectives and expertise, while bidding farewell to Clarissa Meek and Richard Salter KC with our deepest gratitude for their service.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
