About Symphony Space
Symphony Space opened in 1978 after a free “Wall to Wall Bach” marathon concert in the Symphony Theater, a boxing and wrestling venue built in a former ice rink and market.
The Upper West Side was once a film district like Tribeca is now. The Thalia Theater used to be an independent arthouse theater where now famous directors used to hangout.
Theaters:
- Peter Jay Sharp Theatre seats 756.
- Leonard Nimoy Thalia seats 168.
