Radio City Music Hall is a
landmark within a landmark. It’s an archetypal example of the
Art deco style that is prevalent throughout Rockefeller Center.
Home to the world-famous Rockettes chorus line, Radio City Music
Hall is one of the largest indoor theaters in America. Designed by
Donald Deskey, the 6,200-seat theater has an exterior that invokes
images of Gotham City and an interior that opens with a 60-ft high
foyer.
This
introduction leads you into the equally impressive theater. The
most striking feature of the theater is the design of the arch
above the stage. The arch represents a sun setting over the sea
designed in the rounded Art Deco style that was popular when the
theater opened in 1932. You can learn more about Radio City by
taking the one-hour tours that leave from the lobby every thirty
minutes.
The most famous feature of Radio
City Music Hall stage is the Rockettes chorus line. Their annual
Christmas show is a harbinger of the holiday season, and still
opens to sold-out shows.
