for $57 million n.y. city center restores aladdin lair: review

On a narrow street in Manhattan, leaves and vines explode in colorful Arabia.
This tiled desert fantasy is attached to the entrance to the New York City Dome.
After months of crazy work, scaffolding has just come down at this theater and dance House, a short walk from Carnegie Hall.
Achievement is significant.
On April 2010, I stood on the stage and looked at an auditorium where every inch was painted in a tan.
I can\'t imagine the color of the beat I was told to hide below.
I would like to know how Duncan Hazard, the architect of Manhattan construction company Ennead, will fix the famous terrible sights that seem to cover up the third of the 2,753 seats.
Alvin Ellie American Dance Theatre and American Ballet Theatre perform at the center every year, which also offers autumn shows for the dance festival with $10 tickets and \"Encores!

The building, which began in 1924, is a gathering place for the ancient Arab order of the nobility of the mysterious temple, more known as fez-
Wearing shrink clothes
New York City eventually owns it because the shrink was unable to pay taxes during the Great Depression.
Mayor Fiona LaGuardia reopened the building in 1943 as an affordable home for performing arts.
That year, he helped start the City Opera House, where the people\'s opera company held its first show in the city center before moving to Lincoln Center, after which it left Lincoln Center.

On a visit last week I saw the golden floral pattern
The green and chestnut colors rotate on the side walls to meet the spiders on the ceiling --

A pair of domes, columns, and gilded arches look like they are painted from the nests of some Arabian nights, making up the stage.
Full brass Aladdin\'s lamp hangs in front of the stage.
Once a monotonous room, when the light was low, the most popular thing was the happiness now.
There are no color photos to help identify the original color palette, Hazard said, so it is important to painstakingly peel and analyze every inch of the wall and ceiling to match the old color.
By borrowing a few inches inside a huge steel stand hidden in the face of the two big balconies, Hazard was able to change the reclining of the seat so that almost all the audience could see the entire stage.
He replaced what he called a \"knee crunch\" with a wider seat and added room for the legs.
If not perfect, the line of sight is much more perfect than I thought.
After all, the only way to fix the Hall in 2007 seems to be to lift the entire auditorium into a complete story.
The project, estimated to cost $0. 15 billion, will take years.
The project was completed in two summers with $57 million.
The city center is close to its capital movement target of $75 million.
The difference is that it will support programming.
The center\'s six directors were victims of Bernard Madoff\'s $50 billion Ponzi scheme, although the board said the renovation had not been affected.
Prior to his arrest in December, Madoff himself served as a director for at least a decade.

The loss of 500 seats in the city center during this process is somewhat worrying as it seems to accept a smaller audience.
This is a trend: a new show
Today, there are few more than 2,000 seats in the Art Hall, and Ennead partner Hazard, who is in charge of the 1986 restoration of Carnegie Hall, has been asked to narrow the 3,400 seats in Cincinnati.
A concert hall with 1,500 seats.
\"You are not suffering for art, but in comfort and enjoyment,\" explains Hazard . \".
Especially at the orchestra\'s venue, \"People want to see musicians and watch the process\", so he will bring the Cincinnati stage closer to the center of the hall and wrap it up with seats.
It\'s definitely better to be smaller in the city center.
The Hall lost its worst seat.
Allow the \"encorres!
The series, as one, is reasonable to prove the addition of additional performances. (James S.
