Classical opera and dance concert halls New York

Active since 1861, this academy, located in a superb Fine Arts building in Downtown Brooklyn, is an institution, one of the most beloved and electric in New York. The programming and acoustics of its two stages are of exceptional quality. It is the headquarters of the Brooklyn Philharmonic which performs during the winter. There is also a 4-theatre film library (BAM Rose Cinemas) and a café-concert (BAM Café) with a majestic setting.

Between mid-June and early July, two repertoire operas were given on a scene mounted on the Great Lawn (Great Lawn) of Central Park, before the troupe sailed to other New York parks. Those who love opera will not miss the opportunity.

Inaugurated in 1891 by the Russian composer Tchaikovsky, the Carnegie welcomes the world's leading orchestras. It is highly appreciated by musicians for its curved structure which gives it exceptional acoustics. Major events took place there, such as the first performance of Un Américain in Paris in 1923, as well as concerts by jazz legends Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday. Even today, the programming still gives pride of place to classical music virtuosos, but leaves a few dates to artists like Jay-Z or Elton John.

This prestigious music school regularly gives free concerts. On this occasion, the students of the school, whatever their field of study (violin, piano, singing, percussion...) perform. The level is very high, which is largely explained by the fact that the school has an admission rate of less than 7%! The school houses Alice Tully Hall where the New York Chamber Music Orchestra, The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and the jazz orchestra conducted by Wynton Marsalis perform.

The David Rubenstein Atrium is the building where you can buy tickets for dozens of events held at the Lincoln Center, and have a coffee while discussing the latest opera or ballet. It is also a meeting place for music lovers: several times a week, free performances and concerts take place there. Eclecticism is required and jazz groups, classical music, salsa or even poetry readings follow one another.
