Metropolitan Opera October 26 2014

metropolitan opera house
Originally built to replace former Metropolitan Opera House at Broadway and 39th street, this building was designed by Wallace K. Harrison, a 16-acre complex built under the initiative of John D. Rockefeller III. The appearance of the centerpiece of the Lincoln Center is a study in romantic Modernist architecture, the boxlike nature of the building relieved by the front facade, with its arches and symmetrically glazed panels creating a spectacle suited to the grandeur of the performance within. 
The crystal sunburst chandeliers were donated by the Austrian Government.
