Title: Metropolitan Opera House—Lincoln Center, New York City. Opened only 4 years after the 1962 founding of the ASNR, this breathtaking building has a fully glass front that allows people outside to enjoy the enormous Marc Chagall paintings, seen behind the most lateral bay on each side. The hall is noted for its excellent acoustics and sight lines. Lincoln Center was constructed on the former site of numerous run-down tenements. The rubble of this material served as the “stage” for Robert Wise's fantastic 1961 movie version of Leonard Bernstein's “West Side Story,” which won numerous Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
