Lincoln Center Festival 2017 announces theater, dance and music from around the world
The New York institution has revealed details of this year’s international lineup of theater, dance and music
One of the city’s most thrilling multi-arts events, Lincoln Center Festival offers stunning plays, dance, operas and visual art from around the world. There’s no shortage of arts festivals in New York each summer. But they tend to be niche affairs, catering to musical-theater fans (the New York Musical Festival), outdoor concertgoers (Central Park SummerStage) or classical-music buffs (Mostly Mozart Festival).

Lincoln Center Festival is different: Spanning nations and artistic disciplines, it brings a wealth of top-notch work to various stages each July. Ace curator Nigel Redden and his producers rack up frequent-flier miles trekking across the globe to discover live acts to thrill local culture vultures.
Tickets can be expensive and go fast, but unless you want to break the bank on airfare and hotels, the festival is a great way to see music, dance, theater and opera from around the world—without leaving home. Where else but in New York can you see French acrobats leap through the air one night and the Bolshoi Ballet dance pirouettes the next?
