Located at 1260, Avenue of the Americas, Radio City Music Hall is an entertainment venue that serves as the headquarters for the precision dance company, the Rockettes. The venue was designed by Edward Durell Stone and Donald Deskey and construction occurred between 1932 and 1940.
Radio City Music Hall boasts an Art Deco style architecture with a large auditorium. In 1978, the performance venue was decreed a New York City Landmark and the Music Hall was restored and allowed to stay open. While initially intended to host stage shows, Radio City Music Hall hosted performances in a film and stage spectacle format and even some big movie premieres. The Music Hall has also hosted televised events including the Tony Awards, the Grammys, the Daytime Emmy Awards and more.
Presently, the venue mainly hosts concerts and live shows, including the iconic Radio City Christmas Spectacular.
