The capacity of the New York Philharmonic'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.
This artist rendering released by the New York Philharmonic shows the new design of the interior of Geffen Hall, part of a $550 million renovation project slated to be complete by March 2024.
Lincoln Center President Henry Timms and Philharmonic President Deborah Borda announced the plans during a news conference Monday. Distance from the last row of the orchestra to the stage will drop from 119 feet to 92, and the number of seats more than 100 feet from the stage will be reduced from 800 to about 220.
Lincoln Center announced a $100 million gift from David Geffen in March 2015 for a $500 million renovation. Heatherwick Studio and Diamond Schmitt Architects were picked later that year for a project that was to start in 2019. Borda, hired in March 2017 to return to New York after 17 years with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, stopped that plan within six months.
