THE Chinese-born composer Du Yun won the Pulitzer Prize for music on Monday for Angel's Bone, an experimental opera that explores the psychology behind human trafficking.

The one-act opera, which premiered last year at New York's Prototype festival, takes place in a nondescript American suburb and is filled with spiritual symbolism.
