Renowned conductor William Christie and early music group Les Arts Florissants returned to BAM with
David et Jonathas, a rarely staged opera by composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier. BAM was excited to welcome these remarkable artists back to the Opera House following their spectacular production of
Atys in 2011.

Following the opening performance, BAM members at the Sustainers level and above joined the company for a French-themed reception in the Lepercq space. Delectable catering by
Great Performances charmed guests with pomme frites in individual cones,
Brooklyn Gin provided a specialty cocktail "Le Maudit," along with an assortment of
Brooklyn Brewery beer. It felt like springtime with
Fleurs Bella's magnificent cherry blossom arrangements.
We have many more exciting
events coming up this Spring! Be sure to check them out.
