On the occasion of The Metropolitan Opera’s production of Ainadamar and following Marcel Dzama’s contribution to the 2023 Performa Biennial, To live on the Moon (For Lorca), The Fifth Avenue Hotel hosts an intimate evening of conversation and performance that examines how the legacy of poet-playwright Federico García Lorca continues to inspire artists working across disciplines. Both highlighting and celebrating the dichotomy between two revered New York City institutions dedicated to the art of performance, this program pairs the classical and the conceptual, uptown and downtown, to explore their relationship to a shared subject and, ultimately, each other.
This program will feature a conversation between: artist Marcel Dzama; RoseLee Goldberg, Founding Director and Chief Curator of Performa; and Grammy and Tony Award-winning playwright and librettist David Henry Hwang, along with a performance from Ainadamar by two-time Grammy Award winner Angel Blue and acclaimed mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack.
This program is open to guests of The Fifth Avenue Hotel and is otherwise by invitation.
Capacity is limited. Please write to experiences@thefifthavenuehotel.com for more information and to inquire about attendance.
