Lincoln Center



The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is a plaza located in New York City, established in 1962. The center is home to such institutions as the Juilliard School, the Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet and the New York Philharmonic.

Jim Henson proposed a show, The Muppets at Lincoln Center, to be performed there. The center approved the idea, but it ultimately never came into fruition.

The cast of Sesame Street visited the center in one episode (a clip of which was seen in A Walking Tour of Sesame Street), where the plaza's famous fountain blocks the adults view of Mr. Snuffleupagus.

For season 43 of Sesame Street, four editions of Murray Monster's "People in Your Neighborhood" segment where taped at the center, highlighting such performers as the New York City Ballet and Music Director and Conductor Alan Gilbert.
