NYC Arts: The Complete Guide to Art and Culture

BAM Gilman Opera House

Brooklyn

This is the main venue of Brooklyn Academy of Music and hosts dance, theater and music events, including avant garde productions of modern operas.

BAM Harvey Theater

Brooklyn

Winner of the 1988 Architectural Theater Award, the Harvey (formerly the Majestic) resembles a romantic ruin of a theater space. Originally a traditional playhouse, the theater was converted into a movie house in 1942 and abandoned in 1968. This unique space was obtained in 1987 by BAM's then-president Harvey Lichtenstein for the landmark production of Peter Brook's The Mahabharata. The Harvey is located two blocks from BAM's Howard Gilman Opera House and has 874 seats.

BAM Rose Cinemas

Brooklyn

Created in 1998, BAM Rose Cinemas features an elegant proscenium that harkens back to the space's time as a playhouse and a music hall.

Enter Barnard’s gates at 117th and Broadway and the experience is unique. Immediately obvious is how picturesque and green their four-acre campus is, and how intimate it feels in the midst of New York City.
