Brooklyn Academy of Music announces Winter/Spring 2025 Season
BAM’s Winter/Spring 2025 season is a vibrant slate of performances that embody rebirth and renewal, infused with the electrifying energy of artistic expression, and communing around celebrated artists who expand creative boundaries.
Coming to BAM in 2025 are Rebecca Frecknall’s staggering revival of Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire starring Oscar nominee Paul Mescal (Gladiator II, Aftersun, All of Us Strangers); Barrie Kosky’s urgent, seductive Berliner Ensemble staging of The Threepenny Opera, Brecht and Weill’s savage critique of capitalism; and Macbeth in Stride, Whitney White’s R&B-soaked recasting of Lady Macbeth as an indomitable Black female icon.
Additionally, BAM favorites including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Batsheva Dance Company return with fresh creations. The spellbinding British composer and pianist Max Richter pairs a beloved album with his newest work in an exclusive local engagement. DanceAfrica, an exhilarating annual celebration, focuses on Mozambique. And a vibrant new family performance suited for children ages 0 to 5, Gimme Please!, joins BAMkids Celebrates MLK: If You Can’t Be the Sun, Be a Star! and BAMkids Film Festival in nurturing budding creativity.
“We hope that all who join us this season will experience promise through performance, lifted spirits, challenged perceptions, and art’s transformative power through the lens of bold, colorful artistry,” said BAM Artistic Director, Amy Cassello. “All of these fresh, agile works poignantly reflect our present time. BAM is proud to amplify the voices of artists who navigate risky terrain everyday.”
“BAM thanks Bloomberg Philanthropies, our donors, and our dedicated civic leaders for their support of the upcoming season,” said BAM President, Gina Duncan. “We would not be able to deliver on our mission to present audacious work for our entire community without their generosity.”
