Summary
Joana Carneiro conducts the English National Opera in the London premiere of Missy Mazzoli’s Breaking the Waves at the London Coliseum, featuring soprano Lauren Snouffer as Bess McNeill.
Why it's fantastic
Based on Lars von Trier’s intense film, this contemporary drama explores the harsh collision of religious faith and physical desire in a remote Scottish community. You can expect a powerful night of storytelling as a devoted wife takes extreme risks to save her husband following a life-altering accident at sea.
