Angel's Bone at Annex Theatre

Five of the country’s most innovative music and opera organizations are coming together to present the Canadian premiere of the Pulitzer Prize-winning contemporary opera Angel’s Bone from Nov. 25–27, 2022 at The Annex Theatre as part of IndieFest. The production follows two young angels who fall to earth, and aims to generate conversation and awareness around child and youth trafficking and sexual exploitation. Presented by re:Naissance Opera, Sound the Alarm: Music/Theatre, Turning Point Ensemble, Arraymusic, and Loose Tea Music Theatre, the work brings to light the urgency of the issue in cities across Canada. Angel’s Bone features bold multimedia design and music that blends medieval chant, electronic sound design, dance music, punk-inspired arias, and standard classical new music. The Vancouver production was developed in collaboration with a social context committee of youth workers, survivors, lawyers, human rights activists, sex workers, and opera artists. Each performance will include a 30-minute pre-show chat and a post-show Q&A.
