A tourist in New York with photo camera. Architecture. Facade Radio City Hall
En los paseos de turista por Nueva York a veces buscamos lugares conocidos, otras veces aparecen en nuestro camino como es el caso de Radio City Hall.
The Radio City Music Hall was designed by architect Edward Durell Stone and interior designer Donald Deskey in the Art Deco style.
Its originally planned name was International Music Hall. The names "Radio City" and "Radio City Music Hall" derive from one of the complex's first tenants, the Radio Corporation of America.
The Music Hall opened to the public on December 27, 1932 with a lavish stage show featuring Ray Bolger, Doc Rockwell and Martha Graham.
The opening was meant to be a return to high-class variety
entertainment. The new format was not a success. The program was very
long, and individual acts were lost in the cavernous hall. On January
11, 1933, the Music Hall converted to the then-familiar format of a
feature film, with a spectacular stage show perfected by Rothafel at the
Roxy Theatre in New York City.
