The capacity of the New York Philharmonic will be reduced by more than 500 seats as part of a $550M renovation
Atmosphere at New York Philharmonic 169th season opening night gala and concert at Avery Fisher Hall on Sept. 16, 2009 in New York City.’s much-maligned concert hall at Lincoln Center will be reduced by more than 500 seats as part of a $550 million renovation that will cause the orchestra to relocate during part of the 2023-24 season.
Much of the hall’s third tier will be eliminated, the rows in the orchestra cut from 43 to 33 and the auditorium floor rake increased. The stage will be moved forward 25 feet, allowing seven rows of seating behind the orchestra, part of the changes that will reduce capacity from 2,738 to under 2,200. The distance from the last row of the orchestra to the stage will drop from 119 feet to 92.
Lincoln Center President Henry Timms and Philharmonic President Deborah Borda announced the plans during a news conference Monday. Opened in 1962 as Philharmonic Hall at a cost of about $21 million and designed by Max Abramovitz with acoustics by Bolt, Beranek and Newman, the orchestra’s auditorium has been criticized for a sound that emphasizes brass and muddles lower strings.
