Angel Bones - English National Opera
Mr and Mrs X.E, are a desperate couple facing financial crisis and a crumbling marriage and they long for a better life.
Overview
Mr and Mrs X.E, are a desperate couple facing financial crisis and a crumbling marriage and they long for a better life.
The opera follows Mr and Mrs X.E, a couple under financial pressure whose marriage is breaking down and who long for a better life. One night they find two injured angels in their garden and take them indoors to nurse them back to health. Their kindness soon gives way to control, as the pair see in the celestial beings a route to fame and fortune and begin to exploit them.
The story turns on the cruelty of that exploitation, with the angels'wings clipped and their treatment becoming degrading and inhumane. The production asks its audience to recognise the darker truths that lie beneath the surface of everyday life and to consider their own part in looking away.
The show is staged at the London Coliseum, the English National Opera's home in the West End, and is presented as an opera for an audience interested in new and challenging work. British Sign Language interpretation is part of the performance.
