Run AMOC* Festival

The American Modern Opera Company (AMOC*) is a leading force among today's most innovative and visionary interdisciplinary ensembles—recognized for producing deeply resonant and boundary-pushing art. This summer, AMOC* embarks on its most significant artistic endeavor to date with a bold slate of opera, dance, and music, creating an immersive landscape of art that redefines the festival experience. Performances will take place indoors and outdoors across Lincoln Center, moving fluidly between the spectacular and the intimate. Each production draws audiences into a realm where the lines between disciplines blur, celebrating the company’s audacious creativity and intimate approach to storytelling.
