Angel's Bone

Angels appear all too rarely. Don’t miss them. Care becomes contempt , and love becomes loathing in this dark, unsettling parable from contemporary composer Du Yun and librettist Royce Vavrek . Breaking with operatic tradition, Angel’s Bone fuses multiple musical genres, spoken word and immersive staging in an uncompromising tale of modern slavery and human trafficking. This UK premiere of the Pulitzer Prize-winning opera, an ENO production in collaboration with Factory International and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra , was staged at Aviva Studios, Manchester, in May and comes to London in October. The chorus is performed by Kantos Chamber Choir , with the Orchestra of ENO joining for the London run. Don’t miss Du Yun’s Angel’s Bone at the iconic London Coliseum this October – a bold, unsettling opera that will challenge and stay with you long after the curtain falls. Book tickets now. Mr and Mrs X.E are a desperate couple facing financial crisis and a crumbling marriage , and they long for a better life. When they discover the two bruised and battered angels in their garden, they bring them inside to nurse them back to life.
