The Lincoln Center Festival, which starts Wednesday, has done a bit of a juggling act this year. Ongoing renovations ruled out the New York State Theater and Alice Tully Hall, while Avery Fisher Hall is operational for only one week of the festival’s 25-day duration. “The underlying thread this year is that we have had to look elsewhere for performance spaces,” the director of the festival, Nigel Redden, said.
The original intentions of the festival organizers, such as staging the New York premiere of the Chinese opera “Monkey: Journey to the West,” co-written by Damon Albarn and Jamie Howlett of Gorillaz, at the State Theater, had to be discarded. (Instead musicians from Honest Jon’s, Mr. Albarn’s record label, are playing at the festival.)
