Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts

Multi-venue complex home to many prominent groups like Metropolitan Opera & New York City Ballet.

Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is New York's most concentrated campus of performing arts institutions — the Metropolitan Opera, New York Philharmonic, New York City Ballet, and more — in a complex redesigned by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in the 2000s. The fountained plaza, glass-enclosed restaurants, and outdoor programming have made it an essential daily destination for residents and visitors to the Upper West Side. The city's cultural backbone.
