Season Program
the xx March 19 — 29
“A triumph of radical choreography and staging … [while] retaining the mystery of a unique, extraordinary experience.” — The Guardian (London)
The xx has made big noises across the pop landscape while barely raising their voices above an ear-grazing whisper. Their poignant, minimalist music is a tribute to their unflinching drive for originality, which has ensured their position as one of the most in-demand bands of our time.

After headlining major festivals and huge outdoor venues like Coachella and Lollapalooza and sold-out runs at quintessential venues like Radio City Music Hall, the Mercury Prize-winning trio comes to the Armory for a much more intimate experience. Defying perceptions of a traditional concert, the xx creates a site-specific environment to delve into uncharted levels of depth in their sound where dark and light collide as the memory of the outside world falls away. This uniquely voyeuristic and deeply personal setting is the perfect oasis for the band to perform, while in the process redefining their music and their relationship to the audience that surrounds them.

“«««««” “A triumph … which will go down as one of the Scottish Play’s great revivals.” — The Daily Telegraph (UK)
“Fast, furious and unstoppable … this Macbeth [knocks] the breath out of everyone, audience included.” — The New York Times Shakespeare’s classic tale of ambition and treachery gets a thrilling new life in the U.S. premiere of the electrifying production by Rob Ashford and Kenneth Branagh, following its acclaimed sold-out run at the Manchester International Festival in England. Kenneth Branagh, in his first Shakespeare performance in more than a decade, is joined by Alex Kingston, in their highly-anticipated New York stage debuts, as the once great leader and his adored wife, who incites him to sell his soul in the quest for greater power. Utilizing the Armory’s unique space and military history, this audacious staging brings to life one of Shakespeare’s most powerful tragedies in an intensely physical, fast-paced production that places the audience directly on the sidelines of battle. Blood, sweat, and the elements of nature can be directly felt as the action unfurls across a traverse stage, with heaven beckoning at one end and hell looming at the other.

“In Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s holocaust opera The Passenger, we have one of the most unflinching engagements with this subject ever made.” — The Daily Telegraph (UK) An encounter between two women — one a former Auschwitz guard, the other a former inmate of the female barracks — aboard an ocean liner plunges them both back into the horrors of the Holocaust, pitting perpetrator against victim in a moral battle between guilt and denial, retribution and absolution. Based on the semi-autobiographical novel Pasazerkaby by Auschwitz survivor Zofia Posmysz, exiled Polish-Jewish composer Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s opera is an astonishing account of the horrors of World War II and the unshakable hold that memories and torment from that time can have, even today. Visionary director David Pountney brilliantly stages this landmark work, taking audiences on a voyage from the stylish deck of the luxury liner to the squalor of a Nazi death camp where cruelty, despair, and unspeakable courage are evident in equal measure. Conductor Patrick Summers leads the Houston Grand Opera Orchestra and Chorus through Weinberg’s emotionally-searing score, which had been banned by Soviet authorities upon its completion in 1968, resurfacing for its first full staging some 40 years later and only now makes its eagerly-awaited New York premiere.
performances thursday, july 10 at 7:30pm saturday, july 12 – sunday, july 13 at 7:30pm tickets start at $45 Nightly prelude concerts of Weinberg’s chamber music will be performed by the ARC Ensemble at 6:00pm in the Board of Officers Room. Free to ticket holders of that evening’s performance. Co-presented by Park Avenue Armory and Lincoln Center Festival The Passenger is a co-production of Bregenzer Festispiele, Teatr Wieki, English National Opera and Teatro Real.

“Astonishing … I challenge you not to be an emotional wreck by the end of it.” — The Guardian (London) Regarded as one of the quintessential masterpieces of classical sacred music, Bach’s revered account of Christ’s Passion from the Gospel of Matthew is detailed through sublimely beautiful music that is eloquent and profoundly moving, both in its humanity and spirituality. While a highlight of concert seasons and festivals around the world for more than 150 years, Bach’s final and most dramatic Passion was never intended to be staged. Renowned for his highly original takes on operatic works, Peter Sellars ritualizes this magnificent masterpiece to create a communal grieving process while illuminating Bach’s unmatched gift for presenting both deep hardship and the possibility of transcendence. This radically inclusive approach eliminates the separation between artist and audience — there are no spectators, only observers and participants —with musicians and singers moving amongst each other. Hailed as “the single most important thing we ever did here” by Simon Rattle when the production premiered at the Berlin Philharmonie in 2010, Rattle again leads the Berliner Philharmoniker, a cast of superb singers including Mark Padmore and Christian Gerhaher, and extensive choral forces for the U.S. premiere of this epic production.
Performances tuesday, october 7– wednesday, october 8 at 7:00pm for ticketing information, visit armoryonpark.org Co-presented by Park Avenue Armory and Lincoln Center’s White Light Festival The Berliner Philharmoniker residency in New York City is made possible by a leadership gift from the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation, and Marina Kellen French.

“[Douglas Gordon is] … one of the most prominent artists of his generation.” — The Guardian (UK) “[Hélène] Grimaud doesn’t sound like most pianists: she is a rubato artist, a reinventor of phrasings, a taker of chances.” — The New Yorker Turner Prize-winning artist Douglas Gordon and acclaimed pianist Hélène Grimaud come together to explore the beauty of water, a primal force of nature that can change like the tides and has long been a muse for artists throughout history in a wide array of art forms. Gordon takes this elemental inspiration to create a large-scale installation utilizing the great expanse of the Wade Thompson Drill Hall, on which Grimaud will perform a program of water-themed works by Debussy, Ravel, Liszt, and others, creating a confluence of live music and visual art that allows audiences to experience this celebrated music in a refreshingly new way. The installation will be open to the public in addition to performance times for further reflection.

Vilde Frang and Michail Lifits perform in the Board of Officers Room
r e c i tal series “With the exquisite renovation of the Board of Officers room … [Park Avenue Armory] now has a space for chamber music, which marries excellent acoustics and an austerely elegant Gilded Age interior… [creating] an atmosphere of luxury and concentration.” — The New York Times
A subtle environment that dramatically counters the awe-inspiring proportions and vast space of the Wade Thompson Drill Hall, the newly reopened Board of Officers Room is the latest achievement in Park Avenue Armory’s ongoing restoration that “seems destined to set a new standard, not so much for its scale, but for its level of respect and imagination” (The New York Times). This splendid space is the ideal setting for performances of chamber works, with the pristine acoustics and intimate scale originally intended by many composers. This season, we feature signal works from the classical music repertoire spanning more than 250 years, performed by intrepid interpreters from New York and abroad.

All-Bach Program Cello Suite No.1 in G Major, BWV 1007 Cello Suite No.5 in C Minor, BWV 1011 Cello Suite No.6 in D Major, BWV 1012
Thought to be some of the most beautiful and important compositions ever written for cello, Bach’s suites for unaccompanied cello are a collection of dances, each prefaced by a searching prelude. Cellist István Várdai makes his North American recital debut in a survey of these lauded works, from the open serenity of the G major to the powerful radiance of the D major, known as a “symphony for solo cello.” Wednesday, May 21 at 8:00pm Thursday, May 22 at 8:00pm tickets: $25

The songs of Hugo Wolf offer some of the greatest challenges in the entire lieder repertory for rising singers and vocal veterans alike, both for their nuanced musical subtlety and their complex interaction between prose and music. German soprano Anna Lucia Richter comes to the Board of Officers Room to interpret these glittering vocal works in her U.S. recital debut.

o t h e r h a p p e n i n g s at t h e a r m o r y UNDER CONSTRUCTION SERIES “The moment I learned I’d been granted an Armory residency, I felt like Little Orphan Annie when she first arrives at Daddy Warbucks’s mansion.” — former Artist-in-Residence Young Jean Lee Get an inside look into the creative process of the Armory’s artists-in-residence, who set up studios and offer intimate public previews of works-in-progress, including dance, theater, music, and visual art. The Armory’s period rooms provide a unique backdrop for their workshops, serving as both inspiration and as a collaborator in the development of their work. Previous artists-in-residence have included director and designer Julian Crouch, choreographer Faye Driscoll, soprano Lauren Flanigan, artist Ralph Lemon, maverick musician and composer Meredith Monk, post-classical string quartet ETHEL, playwright and director Young Jean Lee, performance artist Okwui Okpokwasili, Shen Wei Dance Arts, and singer/songwriter Somi.
ARMORY AFTER HOURS Salon culture has enlivened art since the 19th century, when friends gathered in elegant chambers to hear intimate performances and share artistic insights. Join us following performances for libations with fellow attendees as we revive this tradition in our historic period rooms. You may also get to talk with the evening’s artists, who often greet friends and audience members following their performances.
FAMILY PROGRAMS Park Avenue Armory invites parents and children to participate in interactive art-making workshops in our historic rooms. Drawing upon the Armory’s castle-like setting and unique programmatic offerings, these programs are offered monthly during the school year and designed to spark the imagination of children of all ages.
Artist Talks Held in our historic period rooms, these insightful dialogues give audiences the opportunity to hear directly from the artists, and explore the inspirations, ideas, and themes behind their work.
MALKIN LECTURE SERIES Each fall, the popular Malkin Lecture Series presents scholars and experts on topics relating to the Armory and the civic, cultural, and aesthetic life of New York City in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Lecture topics have ranged from history makers like Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt to Gilded Age society’s favorite restaurants and the Hudson River painters.

These unconventional works shatter traditional expectations by allowing artists to freely create and audiences to freely consume their work in an entirely new way.
