Stern Auditorium
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The main auditorium, originally called the Main Hall, was named after violinist Isaac Stern in 1997. It has over 2,000 seats spread over five levels. If you want to climb from the bottom of the auditorium to the top, expect to scale 137 stairs. Check out the hallways which are lined with original scores and autographed pictures from such legends as Les Paul and Tony Bennett.
Traditionally not open to rock acts,
The Beatles broke that barrier in 1964 when they made their first tour of the U.S., playing twice at Carnegie. The band's promoter convinced Carnegie Hall that allowing them to play would better international relations between the U.S. and Britain. Since, the Hall has seen performances from rock and blues artists ever since.c

Brief History
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Carnegie Hall was designed in the style of the Italian Renaissance by architect and amateur cellist William Burnet Tuthill and built by Andrew Carnegie in 1891. Tuthill traveled to Europe to study famous concert halls in order to find out how to give Carnegie Hall the best possible sound. Heavy brick walls were erected to insulate the Hall against external noises. Two other performance spaces are included within: the Weill Recital Hall (a small recital hall) and Zankel Hall (a mid-size venue dedicated to jazz and world music. These days, Carnegie Hall presents upwards of 250 performances every season. The New York Philharmonic used to be the resident company at the venue until they moved to Lincoln Center in 1962.c
