Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is a 16.3-acre complex of buildings in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Manhattan. It is the world's leading performing arts center, home to the Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet, and New York Philharmonic.
Key venues include the Metropolitan Opera House, David Geffen Hall, and the David H. Koch Theater. The Josie Robertson Plaza, with its iconic Revson Fountain, is a central gathering spot and a stunning visual landmark.
Attend an opera, ballet, symphony, or jazz concert. Take a guided tour to learn about the center's history and architecture. Relax by the fountain or enjoy free outdoor performances during the "Summer for the City" festival.
The performance season generally runs from September to June. Summer offers outdoor events and festivals. The plaza is beautiful year-round, especially when illuminated at night.
The campus is fully accessible, with ramps and elevators facilitating movement between levels. Accessible seating is available in all venues. Guided tours require tickets, while the plaza is open to the public.
The complex features multiple restaurants and cafes, including The Grand Tier Restaurant. Restrooms, gift shops, and the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts are also located on-site.
Check the schedule for free events at the David Rubenstein Atrium. If attending a performance, pre-order intermission drinks to avoid lines. The fountain display is a must-see photo opportunity.
