新的Lyric歌剧院，是经典和现代的融合，豪华大气。优雅不俗。同是拆，郑州的拆让人心痛，纽约的拆让人赞叹。

Lyric Theater is the second largest theater in Broadway, and it can accommodate 1930 people. It opened in 1998. The new Lyric Theater was built by incorporating all the major parts of the old Lyric, built in 1903 and Apollo theater, built in 1920. The dome of the new theater is from the old Lyric; the proscenium arch is from Apollo, the exterior incorporates the ornate Lyric Theatre facades on 43rd and 42nd Streets.

The old Lyric and Apollo were acquired by the New York city in 1990, when both of the theater were in poor condition. When they were demolished in 1996, all the major building structures were carefully removed and saved.

Lyric Theater, classic and modern mingled, luxurious and elegant. It is all about demolition, China’s way make my heartache, New York’s way makes my eye opening.
