A new production for English National Opera in Greater Manchester, Angel’s Bone is the Pulitzer Prize-winning opera-theatre work by composer Du Yun and librettist Royce Vavrek.
Angel’s Bone tells the haunting story of two fallen angels, drawn back to earth by a longing for its pleasures. When a struggling couple, Mr and Mrs X.E., discover the injured angels, they take them in with promises of care and protection. But as desperation sets in, compassion gives way to control - and the couple begin to exploit the angels for personal gain.
What unfolds is a powerful allegory exploring themes of exploitation, power, and the human cost of survival.
This collaboration between ENO, Factory International and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic Orchestra will be presented at Aviva Studios, Manchester in Spring 2026, with tickets on sale in January 2026.
