The festival is an opportunity to showcase talent that might otherwise never be seen in New York

The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is home to many of New York's most famous artistic organizations including the Metropolitan Opera, New York Philharmonic and the New York City Ballet. Right now (through July 27) the entertainment venue is hosting its annual Lincoln Center Festival, three weeks of special performances from around the world. VOA's Behnam Nateghi has more on this year's festival.
