Breaking the Waves is now playing at the Edinburgh International Festival! What did the critics think? Read all the reviews!

Lars von Trier's 1996 film Breaking The Waves has no underscore. So, while the subject matter is perfectly apt for yet another opera where a woman debases herself at the whims of a man, composer Missy Mazzoli has little to musically draw inspiration from.

With 7 lead performers at each performance, an ensemble of 30, and an orchestra of 19, plus conductor, Hansel and Gretel will be the Open Air Theatre's largest Company.

Get a peek inside rehearsals for Regent's Park Open Air Theatre's Hansel and Gretel, a co-production with English National Opera, which plays 14 - 22 June. Sung in English, two casts will sing at alternate performances.
