I really like it; you can feel the history.
I was just there yesterday for “The Iceman Cometh”.
Opened as the Majestic Theater in 1904, the venue was renovated by BAM in 1987. Known for its innovative programming, original shows, and enthralling performances, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) has been a mainstay of both global and local communities for more than 150 years. The location of the cinema screen downstage of the fire curtain allows rigging and production work in the flytower to be done without having to fully strike the screen. It is odd that the marquee is empty in first definitely 1939 image, but ver full in the second image. It will also give BAM, whose Rose Cinemas and BAMcinématek already draw 200,000 people a year, the opportunity to screen bigger films in the summer, when the 834-seat Harvey is usually dark.
Interesting photos posted by EdSolero 11/23/07,and the other photos show a great marquee when known as Majestic Theatre.Good to see that is it still in operation. BAM by the way stands for Brooklyn Academy of Music.
That’s what it appears in the photo Warren posted. At the same time, BAM president and executive producer Harvey Lichtenstein was casting about for a place suitable to stage Peter Brook's nine-hour production of The Mahabharata. The technical systems were completely replaced, since it needed to be a working, modern performance space. That is very interesting.

There’s a great photo of the Majestic on brooklynpix.com: Here’s a nice little article about the BAM Harvey Theater (former Majestic). It opened its doors as the BAM Majestic Theater in 1987. “It’s going to be huge, because it’s going to fill the proscenium of the Harvey,” Karen Brooks Hopkins, the president of BAM, said. I believe the roof was completely rebuilt too. ?Thanks again for the great shots..enjoyed the inclustion of the bovis/coop on the corner..one the easiest ways to change the face of a neighborhood just drop something that sticks out and over everthing..wait till they finish The Stadium (Atlantic Yards) progress ha ha ha (smile). 8 people And check out this shot of the new apartment tower that has gone up on the corner of Fulton & Ashland (the Majestic building flag-lot wraps around the new building).
When you take a right and enter the ever larger interior lobby, you are standing at the back of the original orchestra section.
32 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10013 it must have been a huge theater, as even though they raised the floor to the 1st balcony, it still looks like quite a high ceiling. The firm’s other projects with BAM include several theatrical system upgrades to the Harvey Theater, the new Richard B. Fisher Building with two performance spaces, and technical upgrades to the Howard Gilman Opera House. Under the apron of the current stage, you have the old front orchestra.

Hey Warren… Can you email me privately about two older images that you had posted back in September and October of 2005? Facade upshot hrposting@superstructures.com. “You’re in a spectacular atmospheric theater, that will now have this giant screen and will be this spectacular atmospheric movie theater. That is, rather than creating a new “fake” skin for the theater, the ruin was stabilized and the ornamentation that survived stayed put. Here is a 1939 photo from the Brooklyn Public Library: It hearkens back to the great movie palaces of yesteryear, but it will be completely state-of-the-art.”. Completion: 2012. The seating in the orchestra was replaced last year (the original seating was long gone), and two functional sort of right and left boxes were added over top the exit voms.

New York, NY 10013 Is the old orchestra level used for retail, or what do they use the 1st floor for? If they only use the balcony level of this theater, what do they use the orchestra level for?
That will make the theater, a centerpiece of live productions and concerts, the largest cinema in Brooklyn able to show both 3-D and conventional films, according to BAM officials, who are to announce the new installation on Thursday.

Known for its innovative programming, original shows, and enthralling performances, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) has been a mainstay of both global and local communities for more than 150 years. When Harvey Lichtenstein left BAM in 1999, the theater was renamed the BAM Harvey in order to honor his tremendous contributions. In the lobby you can see an amazing portrait of Harvey created by Chuck Close. The Albee was to me Bklyn’s Radio City Hall Palace grand staircases.

My question is, then: The original director that brought the first show in for the re-open by BAM was Peter Brook, and the renovation mirrored a project of his in Paris — the crumbling portions of the theatre were pulled down, surviving ornamentation was left.
‘Colored’ stairway to balcony Staging Concepts was fortunate to be a part of the renovation of this historic landmark in 2012, providing the venue with a custom stage and seating riser.

BAM decided to add cinema presentation during the quiet summer months in the 831-seat Harvey Theater; however, the venue designed for live music, drama and dance, required technical revisions to accommodate a high-quality cinema experience. The Harvey Theater at the Brooklyn Academy of Music will be home to the Steinberg Screen, a 35-foot-by-19-foot digital projection screen, with 42 accompanying surround-sound speakers.
