(July 5 – August 5, 2012) Lincoln Center’s resident companies and artists dazzle audiences all year long, but during the Lincoln Center Festival, held every July, it is the best of the international theater community that goes on display. A collection of well-chosen productions offer the unexpected, some simple and exotic, others breathtaking in their artistry and enormity. Dramatic re-imaginings of Western classics, Mongolian songs, Iranian religious drama, and music from Bach to African pop have all been on the program. Festival audiences have seen Israel’s Batsheva Dance Company move to Hebrew melodies and Springsteen tunes, Russia’s Kirov Opera take on the Ring Cycle, homegrown talents Laurie Anderson and Philip Glass present intriguing new works, and Britain’s finest actors do Pinter and Beckett. The Lincoln Center Festival truly is the best of all theatrical worlds.
