Breaking the Waves is a gripping contemporary opera by composer Missy Mazzoli and librettist Royce Vavrek, adapted from Lars von Trier’s landmark film. Set in a tightly knit community on the Scottish coast, it follows Bess McNeill, a young woman whose fierce love for her husband, Jan, collides with stern religious tradition after a catastrophic oil rig accident. As Bess navigates pleas from an injured Jan and the judgment of church elders, the score surges with luminous strings, churning rhythms, and haunted choral writing that mirrors the restless sea.
Raw, intimate, and overwhelmingly human, Breaking the Waves delivers a cathartic night at the opera that lingers long after the final curtain.
