Lyric Opera of Chicago's production of Missy Mazzoli's opera, which the company co-commissioned, has strong, dramatic, expressive music throughout, but the story lacks continuity.

John Adams’ Nativity oratorio is fully staged in a new production by Lileana Blain-Cruz, her first time directing at the Met. 

The world première of Breaking the Waves was a qualified success, with a powerful drama performed with commitment by strong cast and musicians.
