Robert Moses, in an effort to help the Metropolitan Opera find a new site, incorporated space for the opera and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in his reimagination of Columbus Circle. The economic hardships of the Great Depression further delayed the growth of the Met, and they would not have the opportunity to expand and further express the presence of American cultural sophistication until after the Second World War, in the mid-1950s. In the 1920s plans were made to house the company at Rockefeller Center, but these were never realized. The Metropolitan Opera, the founding organization of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, struggled for decades to find a home that would aid their mission in an effort to elevate the world’s cultural understanding of the United States. In 2018, a slight renovation of the building’s lobby was completed to accommodate the evolving needs of the Metropolitan Opera Company.Plans to move the Metropolitan Opera Company to an updated and modern facility were conceived as early as the 1920s.Planning for the Metropolitan Opera House began in 1955 with the entirety of Lincoln Center.

The Metropolitan Opera House was designed by Wallace K.
