Opera Australian brings Missy Mazzoli’s “Breaking Waves” to Melbourne.

Dubbed by Time Out as “Brooklyn’s post-millennial Mozart”, Mazzoli is one of the most exciting composers working anywhere in the world. Her adaptation of von Trier’s film has been acclaimed as one of the 21st century’s best operas.

Australian conductor Jessica Cottis and Melbourne Theatre Company Artistic Director Anne-Louise Sarks bring Bess’s story to life in this semi-staged production.

The cast is led by the superb Jennifer Black as Bess. Australian-raised baritone Duncan Rock plays Jan, reprising his acclaimed performance from the opera’s European premiere at Edinburgh International Festival.
