Fort Greene, in Brooklyn

Brooklyn Academy of Music

Performing Arts Center · 30 Lafayette Ave (Peter Jay Sharp Building)

Official site Directions

Brooklyn Academy of Music has programmed adventurous work for more than 150 years, spreading opera, dance, film and theater across several Fort Greene buildings.

BAM's calendar is unusually wide for one institution: film, music, theater, dance, talks, opera, poetry, visual art, puppetry and circus all appear in a single season. Check which building your ticket names, because they sit blocks apart.

The Peter Jay Sharp Building on Lafayette Avenue is the historic address and the one most people mean by BAM. Seasons are announced in blocks, so a fall run is usually on sale months ahead.
