The Passenger at Park Avenue Armory
When: Thursday, July 10, 7:30 pm
Where: Park Avenue Armory
Why: The New York premiere of The Passenger will feature a scenic design that takes advantage of the Armory’s 55,000-square-foot drill hall, juxtaposing scenes of the 1950s journey of a German couple aboard a transatlantic ocean liner alternately with those of Auschwitz prisoners below the deck, including flashbacks to the railway tracks, ovens, and barracks of the camp. This staging is a rare performance of the Polish-Jewish composer Mieczsyslaw Weinberg’s magnum opus, set to a libretto by Alexander Medvedev and based on a Polish radio play by Auschwitz survivor Zofia Posmysz. Nightly prelude concerts of Weinberg’s chamber music will be performed by the ARC Ensemble at 6:00 p.m. in the Board of Officers Room. Free to ticket holders of that evening’s performance. Co-presented by Park Avenue Armory and Lincoln Center Festival.
