The crown jewel of Lincoln Center Theater, the Beaumont was designed by Eero Saarinen as part of Lincoln Center's master plan. Its innovative thrust stage and modernist architecture have hosted landmark productions from South Pacific to The King & I revivals.
Season
Acoustics, seating, and what to expect
The theater features excellent acoustics with a mid-sized, intimate configuration that provides clear sound projection throughout the house. The modernist design and careful engineering support strong vocal and orchestral clarity.
Orchestra center sections, rows G-L offer optimal sightlines and acoustic balance. Mid-mezzanine center provides good value with minimal acoustic compromise.
