The Metropolitan Opera House, located at Lincoln Square on Broadway on Manhattan's Upper West Side, is the largest repertory opera house in the world. Designed by Wallace K. Harrison as part of the Lincoln Center complex, the building opened in 1966 to replace the original 1883 Metropolitan Opera House. With a seating capacity of 3,975—including 175 standing-room spaces—it serves as the home of the Metropolitan Opera Company and hosts the American Ballet Theatre during summer months.
