Lincoln Center magic

I got to see the Julie Taymor staging of The Magic Flute this past weekend. The somewhat surreal spectacle on stage was gorgeous and seemed to matched the magical glamour of Lincoln Center itself. I know the actual square was once a disaster area, but lately it seems the square has flourished, perhaps benefitting from the activity that has been growing in the immediately adjacent neighborhoods and the programming that happens in the square during the day.



I love that you can see so many layers of the building's interiors as you approach the entrance. Readers also know that I love what I call the messiness of modern structures when they are well-used by people.
