Most chorus members at the English National Opera (ENO) would be forced to leave their jobs if the company relocates outside London, because of ties that include children at school, caring responsibilities, and partners with jobs in the capital.

More than two-thirds would leave the profession altogether, according to a survey by Equity, the union that represents chorus members.
