The boundary-pushing live production by Missy Mazzoli (composer) and Royce Vavrek (librettist) is adapted from the 1996 film by Lars von Trier.

When Bess, living in a Calvinist community, is granted permission to marry Jan, things take an unexpected turn. After Jan is severely injured in an accident, he implores his new wife to seek affection elsewhere. However, the choices she ultimately makes will lead to an unimaginable finale.
It premiered with the Philadelphia Opera in 2016 and won Best New Opera from the Music Critics Association of North America the following year.

What are the best seats to see Breaking the Waves live?
Opera seating choices rely on both financial capabilities and personal viewing preferences. Audience members should choose mid-to-front rows in the center orchestra for the ideal sound and view combination but those who want a grand panoramic perspective should opt for seats in the front mezzanine or balcony. People should choose seats in the middle orchestra or mezzanine for the best acoustic experience because opera houses have sound systems that transmit sound efficiently to these areas. The rear orchestra and balcony sections offer affordable seating choices at the expense of slightly reduced sound quality.
