We are deeply saddened by the passing of Frank Gehry (1929 – 2025), architect of the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College. We owe him an incalculable debt of gratitude, and will honor his memory for as long as live performance flourishes at the Fisher Center.

The Fisher Center has added another treasure to its unrivalled repertoire. Today’s performance of Dalibor was splendid. Everything about it was precise and transporting—direction, diction (in Czech), design, the music, conducted by Leon Botstein, and the voices, oh the voices! Magic on the Hudson.

“‘Pastoral’ follows in the wake of other Pam Tanowitz pieces birthed at Bard, including ‘Four Quartets,’ which built on T. S. Eliot and left critics’ mouths agape in admiration, and 2022’s Bible-inspired ‘Song of Songs.’” Pastoral is one of @washingtonpost.com’s best dance shows to see this summer.
