ANGEL'S BONE
LA Opera Off Ground presents ANGEL'S BONE, the Pulitzer Prize-winning opera by Du Yun and Royce Vavrek, an allegory of human trafficking in modern times. Performances are May 1-3 at The Broad Stage.
In ANGEL'S BONE, two fallen angels are battered from their long journey to earth. They are discovered by a couple who nurse them back to health, only to exploit them for profit. The eclectic and lyrical score uses a variety of musical genres in this profound and haunting contemporary opera.
The Beth Morrison Projects production is directed by Michael McQuilken with music direction by Julian Wachner.
