Stream for free ‘Angel’s Bone,’ Du Yun’s Pulitzer-winning opera on human trafficking

Two angels fall from heaven, then things go from bad to worse in the dark musical drama “Angel’s Bone.”

The 2017 Pulitzer Prize winner by composer Du Yun and librettist Royce Vavrek is an allegorical tale about human trafficking and modern-day slavery. It had been slated to have its West Coast premiere this weekend at the Broad Stage as part of Los Angeles Opera’s “Off Grand” series before coronavirus closures wiped out the rest of the season.

Instead, a performance filmed at the 2019 Beijing Music Festival is being made available to stream for one week — for free — at laopera.org and facebook.com/LAOpera. It drops at 8 p.m. Friday.

There are other ways to engage with a little culture during your coronavirus quarantine. We’ll keep sharing picks for streaming concerts, online musicals, virtual art exhibitions and more. Here’s Friday’s list, all times Pacific.
