Hammerstein Ballroom, Music venue in Manhattan Center, United States
The Hammerstein Ballroom spans 12,000 square feet with a flat floor, two main balconies close to the ground, and a ceiling height of 75 feet.
Oscar Hammerstein I constructed the Manhattan Opera House in 1906, which later transformed into the Hammerstein Ballroom after the Metropolitan Opera bought out operations.
The venue has hosted performances by Grateful Dead, Britney Spears, David Bowie, and Guns N' Roses, along with Extreme Championship Wrestling events.
The ballroom accommodates 2,500 people for theatrical productions and includes integrated audio recording studios, television facilities, and video control rooms.
A hand-painted ceiling restoration in 1997 preserved the historical elements while modernizing the space for contemporary entertainment functions.
