| Dear Friends of Robert Wilson,
At the Watermill Center, the exhibition Upside Down Zebra has taken over the entire building. It is the largest exhibition ever mounted there, and will be on view until February. Curated by Brian Belotti and Noah Khoshbin, it explores children’s imagination, its inherent role in cognitive development, and its influence on contemporary art. The exhibition features about 1,000 works from the Rhoda Kellogg International Child Art Collection, the largest collection of its kind, alongside responses from 40 contemporary artists. Do not miss this! And please join Bob and everyone on July 26 to celebrate Watermill’s Annual Summer Benefit, “Scribble,” honoring Isabella Rossellini and Francis Kéré.
Have a great summer! |

“DESCEND, O NIGHT OF LOVE”: WAGNER IN LJUBLJANA; MILOSZ IN KAUNAS
The opera in Ljubljana (Slovenia) recently made a major announcement for the coming season: they will première Bob’s production of Tristan and Isolde, Richard Wagner’s tragic and revolutionary music drama. Bob and his creative collaborators just finished the staging workshop there, and are looking forward to bringing this seminal work to life in a co-production with the opera houses in Wrocław (Poland), Brussels (Belgium) and Madrid (Spain). – Opening on February 5, 2026; in Ljubljana until February 16, 2026.
Meanwhile, in Kaunas (Lithuania), Bob and his team made a preliminary staging of Seven Solitudes, a new work based on motifs from the writings of Oskar Milosz (or Oskaras Milašius, in Lithuanian). This will be co-produced with the Wilama Horzycy Theater in Toruń (Poland), and is planned to enter the regular repertory of both theaters, one version in Lithuanian, and the other in Polish. – Opening in Kaunas on March 20-21-22; Opening in Toruń on May 29.
