Radio
City Music Hall Since opening
in December 1932, this world-renowned entertainment
temple has attracted more than 300 million
visitors. One of the definitive New York landmarks,
Radio City Music Hall was born out of a bold
gamble by John D. Rockefeller and the Radio
Corporation of America (owners of NBC radio
and RKO studios) who believed that a building
complex of spectacular proportions would energize
a struggling area of the city. More than 70
years later, Radio City's annual nine-week
Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes-which
has sold out every year since it began in
1933-draws over one million people. Even for
those who don't make it to a show, the theater's
sweeping external Art Deco design (restored
in 1999) is still a sight to behold.
