Eternal life is the topic of The Makropulos Case, grappl ing with the question: Is life worth living forever? Or does the obligatory timescale of exis­ tence lay down the groundwork for our whole value system? Karel Capek, who in 1922 wrote the play on which Janacek closely based his opera (with radical alterations of emphasis and tone in the third and last act), was prompted by a scientific theory which has since been shown to be virtually true: that aging is caused genetically by an "auto-intoxicating organism." The Makropoulos Secret (as the play was called) was translated and published in Boston by Luce & Company in 1925. The American introduction quoted Capek referring to Bernard Shaw's Back to Methuselah , which came out in 1921. "While Bernard Shaw comes to the same conclusion as I do," wrote Capek, "it is in quite the opposite manner. Mr. Shaw believes that it is possible for an ideal community of people to live several hundred years in a sort of paradise. I think that such a condition is neither ideal nor desirable ....

17 Every year since 1987, Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden and the Brooklyn Academy of Music have joined to celebrate the life and work of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the slain civil rights leader who inspired generations of people around the world to fight for their rights and their communities. The annual celebration of Dr. King and his legacy, which last year drew more than 2,000 people to the BAM Opera House, • is the largest and oldest such tribute in New York City.

Each Brooklyn tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. has focused on both his personal accomplishments and his role as a source of inspiration for others. The 1990 celebration, for example, showcased remarks by Dr. Ca rolyn Goodman, mother of Andrew Goodman, and Julia Chaney, sister of James Chaney, two young civil rights workers murdered in Mississippi in 1964 at the start of the "Freedom Summer" voter registration drive.

In 1998 the Borough President hosted United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan at the event, which coincided with the 50th anniversary of the U.N.'s General Declaration of Human Rights. The gathering under­ scored the link between the Secretary-General's stewardship of the world body and many of Dr. King's ideals, as well as efforts in Brooklyn to promote concord in a diverse community.

In 1999 the keynote address was delivered by Georgia Congressmember John Lewis, the civil rights veteran who joined Dr. King as a speaker at the 1963 March on Washington. The gathering focused on Dr. King's visionary qualities, emphasizing his wish for a nonracial society and fair treatment.

The 2000 celebration featured special guests First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and U.S. Senator Charles Schumer. Patricia Williams, professor of law at Columbia University School of Law and MacArthur Fellowship recipient, delivered the keynote address, discussing Dr. King's humanism as traced through a selection of his sermons, and framed the impact and inspiration of Dr. King's actions in a movingly personal context.

Other speakers and entertainers to appear at the celebration over the years include folk singer Odella, television personality AI Roker, actors F. Murray Abraham and Regina Taylor, writer/lecturer Paul Robeson Jr., and Dr. Edison 0. Jackson of Medgar Evers College. .. BAM would like to acknowledge the generous support of AT&T. which has been a major sponsor of the annual Brooklyn tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. since 1994.

Please join us at BAM Rose Cinemas immediately following the program for a free screening of Norman Jewison's In the Heat of the Night starring Sidney Poitier.

18 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man who devoted his life to the fight for full citizenship rights of the poor, disadvantaged, and racially oppressed in the United States.

After receiving a B.S. ( 1948) from Morehouse College, a B.D. (1951) from Crozer Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D. (1955) from Boston University, Dr. King became pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. He and his wife, Caretta Scott King, whom he met and married while at Boston University, had been living in Montgomery less than a year when Mrs. Rosa Parks defied the ordinance concerning segregated seating on city buses. In reaction to this event, Dr. King successfully organized a year­ long bus boycott, which catapulted him to national prominence as a leader of the civil rights movement.

After the boycott Dr. King, who had studied the life and teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, began touring the nation, preaching and further developing for the United States the Indian leader's doctrine of nonviolent civil disobedience. Meanwhile, Dr. King was also writing his first book, Stride Toward Freedom, which was published in 1958. In 1960 Dr. King and his father became co-pastors of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, and Martin Luther King Jr. became president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). During this time Dr. King also organized the massive March on Washington (August 28, 1963), where he delivered his brilliant "I Have a Dream" speech. The January 1964 issue of Time magazine named Dr. King Man of the Year, the first black American to receive the honor. Later that year Dr. King became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize at age 35.

Early in 1968, while planning a second March on Washington, Dr. King flew to Memphis, Tennessee, to lend his support to striking laborers. There, on April 4, Dr. King was assassinated . With his violent death a symbol of moral and social progress in America was lost, and riots were ignited around the country. In 1983 Dr. King's birthday was designated a national holiday. 19 Howard Golden

Howard Golden was sworn in as the 16th President of the Borough of Brooklyn on January 3, 1977. He was elected by the peo­ ple of Brooklyn to a full four-year term on November 8, 1977, and re-elected in 1981, 1985, 1989, 1993, and 1997.

As New York City's senior Borough President, Mr. Golden initiated a campaign for Borough Governance, a program to make government more accountable to the needs of the city's neighborhoods, and has made economic development and neighborhood revitalization his top priorities. During his tenure Brooklyn has witnessed its greatest economic and commercial renaissance in half a century. The $2 billion rebirth underway in downtown Brooklyn includes MetroTech and Atlantic Center. The economic growth has spread to industrial parks in East Brooklyn, East Williamsburg, Sunset Park, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard, as well as neighborhood shopping streets.

Mr. Golden's administration has taken the lead in establishing an Office of Ethnic Affa irs to combat prejudice and foster understanding and respect among Brooklyn's 93 racial, ethnic, and religious groups. His work has garnered the praise and participation of every sector of the Brooklyn community. The establishment of the Crown Heights Coalition, which is helping this community face and resolve its challenges, is a significant pro­ ject of the office. Activities also include an annual Unity Speaker series.

The Borough President has also been an effective advocate for the Borough's cultural rebirth. Under his leadership, Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the New York Aquarium, and Prospect Park have all been restored and renovated. His Welcome Back to Brooklyn festival attracts thousands of visitors each year. Mr. Golden's sponsorship of the Celebrate Brooklyn performing arts series and other cultural events has brought the Borough new recognition as a leader in arts and culture.

Before becoming Borough President, Mr. Golden served with distinction on the New York City Council for seven years. Born in Brooklyn, he is a graduate of Stuyvesant High School, New York University, and Brooklyn Law School.

Institutional Rad io Choir

Since its founding in 1954, Institutional , Radio Choir has recorded more than 27 albums, touring nationwide and throughout Europe and Japan. The choir has appeared with such musical luminaries as Diana Ross, Elton John, Don Henley, Sting, Patti Labelle, and Paul Simon, as well as many of gospel's greats. With upcoming engagements in Japan and Israel, this veteran and legendary choir- along with its choirmaster, the Reverend Carl Williams-continues to sing every Sunday morning at Brooklyn's Institutional Church of God in Christ in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. The choir recently per­ formed as part of BAM's Sounds of Praise gospel brunch series at BAMcafe. The ensemble, along with Morgan Freeman, performed as part of BAM's 1983 Next Wave Festival in a production of Lee Breuer and Bob Telson's Gospel at Co/onus. 20A Dr. John

Dr. John, New Orleans' reigning musical witchdoctor, has been effortlessly mixing and matching traditional blues, R&B, Dixieland jazz, psychedelia, swamp rock, and pop into a timeless modern gumbo for more than 30 years. • His landmark 1968 album, Gris-Gris, which propelled him to fame, introduced an alter-ego called The Night Tripper, an intoxicating brew of voodoo incantations and New Orleans heritage which was to envelope him for more than a decade. His 20-album catalogue and con­ stant touring has produced major hits, includ ing "Walk on Gilded Splinters," "Tipitina," "lko lko," "Such a Night," and "Right Place Wrong Time," and established Dr. John as a tireless champion of the New Orleans style. The 1970s were Dr. John's most prolific period; he cut a slew of acclaimed albums, including The Sun, Moon & Herbs, featuring Eric Clapton and Mick Jagger, and In the Right Place. Dr. John also performed on albums by The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan , and Van Morrison. After a brief hiatus in the early 1980s, his 1989 duet with Ricki Lee Jones, "A Sentimental Mood" (taken from his tribute to Cole Porter), won Dr. John his first Grammy Award. His second Grammy, for "Gain' Back to New Orleans," followed hot on its heels. In 1997 he picked up his third Grammy for his contribution to a star-studded Stevie Ray Vaughan tribute album. His most recent album, Duke Elegant, a tribute to Duke Ell ington released earlier this year, fea tures Dr. John's trademark-a hip vocal and keyboard style that has won him legions of ad mi rers. Dr. John made his BAM debut during the 2000 Rhyth m & Blues Festival at MetroTech.

Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM)

BAM is recognized internationally for its innovative programming of dance, music, theater, music theater, and opera.

BAM's role in the community has recently been expanded by the creation of the BAMcafe and the BAM Rose Cinemas. BAM, America's oldest performing arts center in continuous operation, has presented performances since 1861. Harvey Lichtenstein stepped down after a 32-year tenu re in July 1999, and two long-time BAM executives-Karen Brooks Hopkins and Joseph V. Melillo- were named, respectively, President and Executive Producer.

Characters, especially recent revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Jeremy Sims' misogynist jester, Flamineo (Vittoria's brother and Brachiano's assistant), comment on The White Oevil Photo by Robert McFarlane the action. It's an energetic turn embodying the play's devil-may-care wilfulness and the pursuit of glory among powerful men of status and means.

Edwards frames and propels the action deftly, assisted by the towering scale of Thomson's set, Trudy Dalgleish's clever lighting, and the well-integrated music by Max Lambert and Martin Armiger- all of which gives the produc­ tion an operatic flavor and flow. Spotlights follow the faces of the key characters like dia­ monds in the dark- a phrase Vittoria coins at the end of her trial, as though to reflect some­ thing of her own duality and fate. This, and the scenes of caged madness and pageantry, are imaginatively executed.

The final bloody showdown is pure Scorcese and guaranteed to leave an audience stunned as the youthful voice of solemn reason and justice is left to hang vulnerably in the air.

Brooklyn Academy of Music is home to three separate not-for-profit performing arts institutions: Brooklyn Academy of Music, Brooklyn Philharmonic, and 651 ARTS.

BAM is America's oldest performing arts center. Since 1861 it has been a focus of cultural activity in Brooklyn and New York City. After the first facility at 176-194 Montague Street burned to the ground on the morning of November 30, 1903, plans were made to rebuild at the edge of Brooklyn's business district in the fashionable neighborhood of Fort Greene.

The architectural firm of Herts and Tallant, already responsible for the New Amsterdam, Liberty, and Lyceum theaters in Manhattan, was selected to create a Beaux Arts monument for Brooklyn. The cornerstone was laid at 30 Lafayette in 1906, and a series of opening events were held in the fall of 1908, culminating with a grand gala evening featuring Geraldine Farrar and Enrico Caruso in a Metropolitan Opera production of Gounod's Faust.

After World War II, Brooklyn Academy of Music declined as its audience moved elsewhere. Language classes and martial arts instruction were booked into performance spaces. By the time Harvey Lichtenstein was appointed director in February 1967, the programs and facilities needed revitalization. During the 32 years that Mr. Lichtenstein was at the helm, BAM experienced a complete renaissance, highlighted by the creation of the Next Wave Festival in 1983 and the BAM Majestic Theater in 1987. Upon his retirement in June 1999, the Majestic was renamed the BAM Harvey Lichtenstein Theater.

The Brooklyn Philharmonic is the resident orchestra of Brooklyn Academy of Music, performing at the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House and BAM Harvey Theater five weekends each season. In addition, some 10,000 Brooklyn school children hear the orchestra's free educational concerts each year. Robert Spano became the orchestra's fourth music director in 1996. Under his direction the Brooklyn Philharmonic has emerged as one of New York's preeminent music ensembles and continues to discover new repertoire. Critics have consistently praised the quality of the Brooklyn Philharmonic's performances, programming, and creative concert presentations. The orchestra has presented more than 100 premieres at BAM since it was founded in 1954 by Siegfried Landau. Lukas Foss, music director from 1971- 90, is now conductor laureate. Dennis Russell Davies served as music director from 1991-96. 651 ARTS develops, produces, and presents arts and cultural program­ ming grounded in the African Diaspora, with a primary focus on contem­ porary performing arts. 651's music, theater, humanities, and residency programs take place at the BAM Harvey Theater and many other Brooklyn venues in order to help build the arts throughout the borough. Since its founding in 1988, 651 has showcased distinctive artists, including Abbey Lincoln, Spike Lee, Terry McMillan, Tito Puente, and Max Roach, among many others. 651 first attracted national attention with its land­ mark festival, 100 Years of Jazz and Blues, and has also proudly pre­ sented and produced such programs as Anna Deavere Smith's Fires in the Mirror and Donald Byrd's The Harlem Nutcracker.

Lift every voice and sing, Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies Let it resound loud as the rofling sea.

Sing a song fu ll of the fa ith that the dark past has taught us Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us, Facing the sun of our new day begun. Let us march on till victory is won.

God of our weary years. God of our silent tears. Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who hast by thy might, Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray.

Lest our feet stray from the places. our God, where we meet thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee; Shadowed beneath thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God . True to our native land.
