The striking David Geffen Hall (formerly called the Philharmonic Hall, then the Avery Fisher Hall) centers on a rectangular 2,738-seat auditorium. From September through June, the hall puts on regular concerts by the NYPO—one of the world’s oldest symphony orchestras—as well as jazz shows, operas, and other events.
The ideal way to experience David Geffen Hall is to attend a NYPO concert. For the best seat selection, purchase your ticket online in advance. Guided tours of Lincoln Center are available; or, just stroll around Lincoln Center Plaza to admire the hall and see neighboring venues such as the Metropolitan Opera House.
