I want the ability to stream live or prerecorded musical or Broadway performances directly from my Apple TV HD so that the the video syncs properly to my HomePod Mini which is my default speaker choice on my Apple TV HD. How do I do this?
As there is no tvOS web browser, AirPlay from a secondary device is the remaining option.
Use AirPlay to stream video or mirror your device’s screen - Apple Support
Airplay does not allow me to connect to both Apple TV HD and the HomePod Mini simultaneously.
It doesn’t have to. You can connect the HomePod Mini to the Apple TV in Control Center. Just AirPlay (video+audio) to Apple TV. Then Apple TV will direct the audio to the configured speaker.
Moreover, not all Web-based streaming sites have the Airplay option.
If you can’t use the in-app AirPlay option in Safari, then you can usually screen mirror the Mac through AirPlay. Not as good/smooth (screen capture re-encoding), but often effective enough.
Apple needs to address this problem. Why hasn’t it thus far?
It works as intended. The ‘Why’ questions are a bit fruitless, as the reasons for corporate decisions are not communicated beyond the exceptions of what is desirable marketing-wise from their point of view.

Is it desirable for Apple to frustrate the “user experience”?
Internet Browser for Apple TV HD?
