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
Lars von Trier’s harrowing film finds a new, visceral intensity in this operatic adaptation of faith and sacrifice. It is a powerful choice for those who prefer gritty, modern drama over traditional period pieces, stripped back to two hours of raw emotion that will linger long after you leave.
