NAKAMURA KANZABURO

KANZABURO--Nakamura. The Board and Staff of Lincoln Center for the Preforming Arts deeply mourn the passing of Nakamura Kanzaburo, kabuki actor and friend. Kanzaburo performed with his acclaimed kabuki troupe, Heisei Nakamura-za, in the Lincoln Center Festival two times, in 2004 and 2007, each time impressing critics with both his theatrical skills and deep sense of kabuki's place in history. He raised the popularity of kabuki across the globe, and it was an honor to present his company to Lincoln Center audiences. We join the international arts community in extending our sympathies to his family, his fellow actors, his friends, and to audiences who have lost a giant of the theatrical world. Reynold Levy, President Nigel Redden, Director Lincoln Center Festival Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
