Metropolitan Opera House

The Metropolitan Opera House stands as a centerpiece of Lincoln Center, its striking white travertine facade defined by five massive, soaring arches that frame a grand glass and bronze entrance. This building serves as the world's largest repertory opera house, a status earned by its immense scale and a stage that features seven complex hydraulic elevators. These technological marvels allow the company to rotate as many as four different massive productions in a single week, a feat of staging that would have been physically impossible in the company's previous homes.
