Robert Wilson 1941-2025
The groundbreaking director and designer of works like Einstein on the Beach died earlier today at his home in Water Mill, New York
The news was confirmed by the Watermill Center.
Wilson’s singular, avant-garde aesthetic was characterized by slow movements, blocky costumes, minimal sets, and bold lighting. Of his numerous memorable productions, the controversial 1998 production of Lohengrin at the Metropolitan Opera is a sentimental favorite; it put Parterre Box in The New York Times.
