Summary
Joana Carneiro conducts the English National Opera in the London premiere of Breaking the Waves at the London Coliseum, featuring Lauren Snouffer and Liam James Karai.
Why it's fantastic
Based on Lars von Trier’s intense film, this contemporary opera explores the boundaries of faith and desire in a remote Scottish community. You can expect a visceral evening of storytelling that trades traditional lace and wigs for a gritty, cinematic atmosphere that feels remarkably close to our own world.
