The Metropolitan Museum of Art is more than just a splendid showcase of brilliant artifacts; it is home to a broad range of ideas and personal narratives from every civilization. The 2014-15 season of Met Museum Presents brings these stories to life through theater, performance, and discussions that celebrate the enormous breadth, depth-and surprising relevance-of these narratives.
The new season brings great thinkers and performers of the 21st century into direct contact with their inspired predecessors and the public, and presents multiple points of view that contextualize these ideas in unprecedented and innovative ways.This is the third season programmed by Concerts and Lectures General Manager Limor Tomer. "The nice thing about having two seasons under my belt is that we now have a 'new normal'-our audiences know to expect the unexpected at the Met: unique performances, talks, and events," she said. "This season we will build on our solid track record for site-specific events that engage performers and thought-leaders with the Met's enviable intellectual and physical infrastructure."Whether through theater, talk, or music, we want to make visible the narratives that lie within the objects and galleries, giving our audience a depth of experience with works of art," said Tomer. "Through integration of theater, dance, music, and video art, as well as a multitude of free-with-Museum-admission events, we hope to create multiple entry points to the Museum. We invite all New Yorkers and visitors to join us."Videos
