Lonely Planet review for Brooklyn Academy of Music
The oldest concert center in the USA, the Brooklyn Academy of Music is known for edgier, more modern dance and music shows than its Manhattan counterparts, particularly during the autumn Next Wave festival. (Folks like Ingmar Bergman and Sufjan Stevens have staged shows here.) The complex contains a 2109-seat opera house, an 874-seat theatre and the four-screen Rose Cinemas, which screen indie and foreign films. At 8pm on weekend nights, the upstairs BAMCafe stages an interesting lineup of free live shows.
