The Frederick P Rose Theater

The new home of Jazz at Lincoln Center and dramatically situated at Columbus Circle with sweeping views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline, Frederick P. Rose Hall is a jazz-inspired celebration of flexibility, equally comfortable showcasing dance, theater, opera, film and symphony.  Rose Theater's astonishing box-in-box construction boasts top-rated noise reduction and variable acoustic design to accommodate all performance needs.

The 1200-seat multi-use Rose Theater primarily host jazz performances, but can also accommodate opera, dance, theater, film and orchestral performances.  The theater sits on rubber isolation pads with a 'floating box-in-box construction', that was planned and executed to minimize the noise from outside and create an extremely quiet and intimate space.

Moveable towers allow the venue to accommodate a wide range of performances by providing a changing element for stage use and audience seating.  In concert mode, the towers are positioned behind and around the musicians.  Alternatively, the towers are moved into storage via an air caster system to easily clear the stage area for scenery.  in this way, fully staged chamber opera, ballet, modern dance and theater performances can be presented.  The towers can be turned to provide additional seating on, or around the stage, or reversed to provide a reflective surface.  The stage is large enough for full theatrical productions, but it maintains a sense of intimacy and involvement between performers and audience.

The Allen Room

When Jazz at Lincoln Center opens the doors to the Allen Room on June 16^th 2007 it will welcome the Pan Jazz fan base to an impressive state of the art facility representing the greatest commitment of resources, both human and financial, to the presentation and preservation of the art of jazz in the music's hundred-year-old history. Located inside the Time Warner Building on Columbus Circle, with its marquee prominently proclaiming its place in polite society from the corner of Broadway and 60th Street, Allen Room boldly beckons New York City citizens and visitors to enter a venue that will strive to bring Pan Jazz to the people in a manner commensurate with its sophistication, without sacrificing the humanity that is the music's heart and soul.

The Allen Room , a versatile three-quarters arena that overlooks Columbus Circle and the southern end of Central Park through a 70-foot floor to ceiling glass wall that provides the breathtaking views before which the Caribbean All Stars will perform. Shaped like an amphitheater that wraps the audience around a spacious dance floor in front of the bandstand. the room can accommodate up to  600 persons  in a variety of configurations (utilizing angled terrace seating, bleachers and movable chairs) intended to blur the distinction between where the band ends and the audience begins, inviting them to participate in an setting that recalls the atmosphere of classic jazz age nightspots like the Copacabana and Cotton Club. The room will be the perfect setting for the 2007 Production of  “Pan Jazz.”
