MSG, Radio City and Barclays will also close their doors: 'All of our largest venues will now no longer have gatherings until such time in this crisis as it's acceptable to do so. I unfortunately suspect that will be a number of months,' said de Blasio
New York City continues to see events and large gatherings paused amid the coronavirus pandemic, as Broadway and some of the city's biggest venues prepare to temporarily close their doors.
In order to qualify as official Broadway theaters, auditoriums must have a minimum 500 seats; they range from the Hayes Theatre, the smallest, with 597 seats, through the Gershwin, with 1,933. The monthlong shutdown will cause lost revenues conservatively estimated at $100 million, not to mention the logistical challenges of such a mass volume of refunds and exchanges.
The Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center, the New York Philharmonic and Carnegie Hall have canceled all events through March 31. The Met has also suspended all rehearsals. "The Met's priority is to protect and support our staff, volunteer, and visitors, and we have been taking several proactive precautionary measures, including discouraging travel to affected areas, implementing rigorous cleaning routines, and staying in close communication with New York City health officials and the Centers for Disease Control," said Daniel H. Weiss, president and CEO of the museum, in a statement.
All Smithsonian museums in the city, as well as in Washington D.C., are temporarily closing to the public starting Saturday.
