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 follows a woman’s devotion to her husband through a series of harrowing emotional trials. Joana Carneiro leads a powerful cast in a production that trades traditional glamour for a raw, cinematic grit that stays with you long after the final note.
