First delicate and tender, then quirky and playful, the opera unfolds before your eyes with an immediacy and freshness that have been seen only too rarely before.

A Magic Flute is Peter Brook’s final creation as the artistic director of Paris’s Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord, where in 1974 he founded C.I.C.T., his perennially innovative theatrical production company. Brook was an early and influential member of the Royal Shakespeare Company whose minimalist aesthetic long ago redefined the rules of theater, opera, and film.

In its 250 years of “Awesome in its perfection of style, its performing first on St. Petersburg stages and then around the world, the Mariinsky technical power and assurance, its unanimity has given the world some of the greatest dancers and choreographers in the history of the art.

Like Bruckner himself, Franz Welser-Möst, music director and conductor of The Cleveland The Cleveland Orchestra Orchestra, is from Linz, Austria, and he has spent a career exploring the composer’s powerful Music Director and Conductor symphonies. Here he leads one of the most highly esteemed ensembles in the world in their Franz Welser-Möst inaugural Lincoln Center residency.

Welser-Möst has called Bruckner “the grandfather of minimalism,” and this four-part event explores that idea with concerts that juxtapose Bruckner’s compositions with modern works by John Adams, finding surprising parallels between the two men’s body of works.

14 LincolnCenterFestival.org 212.721.6500 15 THE TEMPLE OF THE GOLDEN PAVILION

Fresh from its highly successful world premiere in Yokohama, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion is a stunning tale of the power of beauty and its corruption of the mind of a young monk, Mizoguchi, who becomes obsessed with beauty’s destruction. Taking as its basis the classic Japanese novel Kinkakuji by the late Yukio Mishima, one of 20th-century Japan’s best recognized and most renowned authors, this groundbreaking play paints an intensely personal picture of Japan in the very troubled time surrounding World War II.

A deceptively simple set, constantly in motion, is transformed throughout by a play of light, projections, and the beautifully choreographed movements of the cast. This innovative theatrical work brings the audience from total darkness to the blinding light of Mizoguchi’s fixation, the essence of the Golden Pavilion itself.

Lincoln Center Festival is delighted to welcome back Amon Miyamoto, the director of The Temple of the Golden Pavilion and the artistic director of the new Kanagawa Arts Theatre, who returns after bringing his broadly acclaimed interpretation of Stephen Sondheim’s Pacific Overtures to Lincoln Center Festival 2002. A brilliant cast is led by Go Morita, a superstar of the Japanese boy band V6 and a respected actor, alongside Sousuke Takaoka and Shunsuke Daito, two of the most exciting “Mr. Miyamoto and company have bestowed young actors of this generation. a great gift upon New York.”

16 LincolnCenterFestival.org 212.721.6500 17 THE SILVER TASSIE

Two teenaged footballing heroes are plucked from the tenements of Dublin and lobbed into the Great War battlefields of France in this sweeping Seán O’Casey play, brought to rare life in a dazzling production by one of Ireland’s most scintillatingly daring theater companies, Druid Theatre Company.

The Irish have their own way of telling stories, and Garry Hynes, Druid’s founder and artistic director, captures that national poetry unlike any other director. In 1998 she became the first woman to win a Tony Award for directing, for The Beauty Queen of Leenane . Here she draws on all the resources of the theater, including live music and dance, in this epic production of one of the most moving works of the Irish canon.

Set against a backdrop of the Home Rule crisis and the founding of the Irish Free State, The Silver Tassie is a pitiless rendering of youth frayed by war, by turns faithful to the stark realism of traditional Irish theater, by turns an exploration of the expressionistic possibilities of the stage. Playwright Seán O’Casey is exquisitely compassionate in his conception, but he allows no tenderness to his characters, whose suffering reflects the full inhumanity of war.

Denmark’s revered national performing arts organizations are at the peak of their powers, invigorated by the recent opening of their spectacular ROYAL DANISH ORCHESTRA new opera house in Copenhagen. Lincoln Center Festival is delighted to welcome these brilliant artists for a landmark three-day engagement.

Nielsen’s Based on Lars von Trier’s film Dancer in the Dark works are paired with music from Igor Stravinsky’s distinctive neoclassical ballet Pulcinella . This newest opera by internationally renowned Danish composer Poul Ruders is the evocative and emotional tale of a poor factory worker with failing sight Conductor Michael Schønwandt who sacrifices her own life so her son can see. Inspired by Dancer in the Dark , Lars von Trier’s 2000 film, Selma Jezková inverts the perspective, recasting the NIELSEN: Pan and Syrinx; Clarinet Concerto story as the dream, or nightmare, of the child who is left behind.
