English National Opera are being sued in a £200,000 court fight after a lighting designer was crushed by a nearly 19st piece of stage kit at their HQ.
Zanna Woodgate, 33, was preparing for the start of the ENO 2019/20 opera season - which kicked off with a production of Don Giovanni - when a 265lb piece of lighting equipment tipped over on top of her whilst she was moving it with a colleague.
She suffered a double leg break which has left her still in pain four years later, Central London County Court heard.
Now she is suing, in a case which could cost the ENO more than £200,000.
Judge Simon Monty heard that Ms Woodgate, then 30, was a lighting designer and technician working at the ENO's Coliseum Theatre on September 1 2019 and was moving a heavy piece of equipment when the accident occurred.
