Before the galas. Before the concerts. Before the lights — there was Opera.

In 1906, Oscar Hammerstein opened the doors of the Manhattan Opera House on West 34th Street, and New York City was never quite the same. From the Season of Grand Opera to the world-class events of today, the stage has evolved — but the magic? That has never changed.

This year, we keep celebrating 120 years of history, legacy, and unforgettable moments.
