del.icio.usFor its spring lineup, which spans Feb. 7 to May 27, BAM presents 10 events in the Howard Gilman Opera House and the Harvey Theater. The season starts with The Hamburg Ballet’s first Brooklyn appearance in over 20 years, the local premiere of its adaptation of Thomas Mann’s novella "Death in Venice." The production, which features music of Bach and Wagner, will be staged Feb. 710 in the opera house.
Among the other dance programs, it’s choreographer Matthew Bourne’s "Edward Scissorhands" - yes, it’s based on the bizarrely sweet Tim Burton film starring Johnny Depp - that’s the most anticipated. "Edward Scissorhands" will take the opera house stage March 1431.
Shakespeare again dominates the spring theatrical offerings. Edward Hall’s all-male ensemble Propeller returns to Fort Greene for a three-week residency (March 17-April 1) of the Bard’s comedies "The Taming of the Shrew" and "Twelfth Night" in the Harvey Theater.
Also returning is the acclaimed troupe Cheek by Jowl, which last appeared at BAM in 2004 with "Othello." This time, they bring one of Shakespeare’s most complex creations, "Cymbeline," to the Harvey Theater May 212.
Musical events run the gamut from a Belgian production of Mozart’s "The Magic Flute" (pictured), playing April 914 in the opera house, to a performance by Brooklyn Heights resident Mos Def on Feb. 16 and 17 in the opera house.
A special BAM engagement next September has also been announced: the Royal Shakespeare Company productions of "King Lear" (with Ian McKellan) and Chekhov’s "The Seagull."
Subscription tickets to the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s "2007 Spring Season," which spans Feb. 7 to May 27, go on sale Dec. 4. For more information, call (718) 636-4100 or visit the Web site www.bam.org.
