Dating from its first performance in 1861, BAM has grown into a thriving urban arts center that brings international performing arts and film to Brooklyn. The first BAM facility at 176-194 Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights was originally conceived by the Philharmonic Society of Brooklyn as a home for its concerts. It housed a large theater seating 2,200, a smaller concert hall, dressing and chorus rooms, and a vast baronial kitchen. BAM presented both amateur and professional music and theater productions. Performers included Ellen Terry, Edwin Booth, Tomas Salvini, and Fritz Kreisler. After the building burned to the ground on the morning of November 30, 1903, The New York Times eulogized its achievements: In short, there has hardly been a great public movement of national import but the old Academy has been at one time or another its principal focus. Ironically, the value of the Montague Street site was such that BAMs stock price actually went up on the day of the fire. Plans were quickly made to rebuild at the edge of Brooklyn's business district in the fashionable neighborhood of Fort Greene. The cornerstone was laid at 30 Lafayette Avenue in 1906 and a series of opening events were held in the fall of 1908 culminating with a grand gala evening featuring Geraldine Farrar and Enrico Caruso in a Metropolitan Opera production of Gounod's Faust. The Met would continue to present seasons in Brooklyn through 1921. It was during one of the engagements of the final Met season at BAM that Caruso, while performing in LElisir dAmore, suffered a throat hemorrhage and coughed blood into several handkerchiefs before quitting the stage. Two weeks later, he gave the last performance of his career at the Met. After World War II, Brooklyn shared the growing problems of other urban centers throughout America, and BAMs audience and support base declined. Language classes and martial arts instruction were booked into performance spaces. A school for boys held classes in the partitioned grand ballroom. By the time Harvey Lichtenstein was appointed executive director in 1967, the programs and facilities needed rethinking. During the 32 years that Lichtenstein was BAM's leader, BAM experienced a renaissance, and is now recognized internationally as a preeminent, progressive cultural center. Its facilities feature the Howard Gilman Opera House (2109 seats) and the Harvey Lichtenstein Theater (874 seats), named in Lichtenstein's honor in 1999. BAM's current programming consists of the Next Wave Festival each fall (which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2002); a spring season of international opera, theater, and dance; a comprehensive Education & Humanities program, and a variety of community programs. Recent additions include BAMcafé, a restaurant and live music venue, opened in 1997 in the third floor Lepercq Space, and BAM Rose Cinemas, a four-screen theater which opened in 1998. One screen is devoted to BAMcinématek, offering daily screenings of repertory classics and special festivals, with frequent guest speakers. The Shakespeare & Co. BAMshop features books, recordings, videos, and gift items geared to BAM's audiences. In July 1999, Karen Brooks Hopkins became BAM's president, and Joseph V. Melillo, executive producer. Non-profit organizations affiliated with BAM include the Brooklyn Philharmonic, BAM's resident orchestra directed by Robert Spano which produces an annual season of concerts; and the BAM Local Development Corporation founded by Lichtenstein in 1998 to help create a mixed-use cultural district in Fort Greene.

The village area occupies 25 acres of a 100 acre site with about 15 restored buildings, including homes and commercial and civic buildings, as well as a museum.

Charter a coach bus to The Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Museum's official opening with the installation of a new exhibition, From Staten Island to Shangri-La: The Collecting Life of Jacques Marchais. The exhibit, curated by Dr. Sarah Johnson, will feature some of the finest examples of Himalayan art from the Museum's collection, Jacques Marchais' journals and publications, rare books, memorabilia, historical photos of the impressive construction of the Museum, and period displays of her elegant gallery installations. The exhibition will reveal the previously untold story of Jacques Marchais (1887-1948), an extraordinary American woman who created a Center to share with the world the ancient artistic and cultural traditions of Tibet and the Himalayan region. Because of her passionate drive to amass a fine collection of Tibetan objects in the 1920s - 1940s, New York City possesses one of the nation's earliest collections of high-quality Tibetan art housed in a remarkable setting. Jacques Marchais built her vision: a unique site that included extensive terraced gardens, a research Library and a Museum resembling a Himalayan mountain monastery. Arranged chronologically, this exhibition will detail Jacques Marchais' early life as a child actress in the late Victorian period, her social life and spiritual quest in New York City in the 1920s, and her intense desire to build an enduring monument to Tibetan Buddhism during the eras of the Great Depression and World War II.
This exhibition will contribute to Asian art scholarship by explaining Jacques Marchais' role as an early 20th century popularizer of Himalayan culture, and it will place her in context of a larger movement of interest in Buddhism. Exhibits and public programs at the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Additional funding for this exhibition was made possible by grants from the Staten Island Foundation, and the New York State Council on the Arts. The Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art is committed to promoting the awareness of Tibetan art and culture through exhibitions, programs, and publications. Located at 338 Lighthouse Avenue, the Museum is open Wednesday - Sunday from 1 - 5pm. For additional information please call 718-987-3500.

Traditional Chinese gardens go back almost 2,000 years to the Han Dynasty though most Scholar's Gardens date back to the more recent Ming and Qing dynasties. A Scholar's Garden would have been built by a scholar or an administrator retiring from the emperor's court. It would have been an enclosed private garden always associated with a house which, in turn without its garden, would not have been considered whole. This garden, designed and built by LAC, is enclosed by walls, a series of pavilions (eight in all), and covered walkways. These are all organized in an irregular manner to create in addition to the two major courtyards a series of six others of varying sizes.
The art of the Chinese garden is closely related to Chinese landscape painting - it is not a literal imitation of a natural landscape, but the capturing of its essence and spirit. The parallel could be drawn to a Chinese hand scroll painting which as it unrolls, reveals a journey full of surprises and meditative pauses. The enjoyment of the garden is both contemplative and sensual. It comes from making the most out of the experiences of everyday life, as such, architectural elements are always a part of a Scholar's Garden.

Striking Art Deco office building complex consisting of 19 buildings and scores of upscale shops and restaurants connected by underground corridors. Tours of the NBC studios and Radio City Music Hall are recommended, as are a stroll through the Channel Gardens. In the winter months, strap on your skates for a spin around the world's most famous ice skating rink. Go at off-peak times, since the rink can get VERY crowded. Rockefeller Center is busiest during the winter holidays, when crowds flock to see the Christmas Show at Radio City Music Hall and then to skate and admire THE Christmas tree. But we recommend a visit at other times of the year, too, since there is always plenty to do and see. I also recommend chartering a coach bus or a smaller mini bus so you dont have to worry about parking.
The Top of the Rock observation deck -- recently reopened after a 20-year closure -- offers magnificent New York City views (including the nearby spires of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building).

In nice weather, the Channel Gardens (so called because they lie in the space between La Maison Francaise and the British Empire Building) are a nice place to relax for a few moments. Join the office workers catching a few rays of sun on the benches throughout the gardens and watch the throngs of tourists and shoppers scurrying by. The area is always attractively planted -- even in the midst of winter you will find something pretty in the gardens here.

The Apollo theater is located in Harlem. Harlem is a neighborhood of Manhattan, long known as a major African American cultural and business center. Although the name is sometimes reckoned as comprising the whole of upper Manhattan, traditionally Harlem is bounded on the south by East 96th Street and west of Fifth Avenue by Central Park, on the west by Morningside Heights, then along Broadway near Riverside Church to the Hudson River, on the north by 155th Street and Coogan's Bluff, and the east by the East River and Harlem River.
Apollo theater is a place where thousands of young artists have stepped out into the spotlight and launched their careers. A place "where stars are born and legends are made."
