볼 때마다 호- *^^* 해지는 야경이어서 마침 카메라가 있던 날 찍어보았지요. 이 날은 중앙 광장(Josie Robertson Plaza)에서 오른쪽에 위치한 Avery Fisher Hall (home stage of the New York Philharmonic!)에서 공연이 있었기에 테라스로 나가서 찰칵. (한여름의 야외 공연 이벤트인 Midsummer Night Swing series 등을 즐기기에도 아주 좋았던, 정든 테라스.)
The Metropolitan Opera House 3,900-seat opera house; home stage of the Metropolitan Opera
The New York State Theater 2,713-seat ballet theater; originally constructed to be the home stage of the New York City Ballet, now also serves as home to the New York City Opera.
방음 시설과 공기 정화 시설이 쓸만하다면(;) 저 불빛들이 보이는 빌딩에 사는 것도 괜찮을 것 같음. (...)

Avery Fisher Hall, 내부에서 적당히 보이는 대로 휘리릭 지나가다 찍음. (귀차니즘...)

버스 정류장 앞에서. (... 라고 쓰다 보니, 예전에도 이 근처에서 사진 찍었던 적이 있는 듯한?)

66th st. 1호선 업타운 방향 지하철 역에서 나와서 찍은 듯. (뒤돌아서면 반즈앤노블~)
Lincoln Center is the largest performing arts center in the world, which serves as home for 12 arts organizations: The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, The Film Society of Lincoln Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Juilliard School, Lincoln Center Theater, The Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet, New York City Opera, New York Philharmonic, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, School of America Ballet, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Inc. It was built during Robert Moses' program of urban renewal in the 1960s, by a consortium led by, and under the initiative of, John D. Rockefeller 3rd. It was the first gathering of major cultural institutions into a centralized location in a United States city.
John D. Rockefeller 3rd said that "The arts are not for the privileged few, but for the many - their place is not on the periphery of daily life, but at is center - they should function not merely as another form of entertainment but, rather, should contribute significantly to our well being and happiness." This quotation was carved on the outside stone wall of Lincoln Center and I quite agree with that. If I become a millionaire, I will make cultural facilities like Lincoln Center and the public library for the Performing Arts!
