Bel Canto at 1991 Broadway is a Privately Owned Public Space in a residential building on the Upper West Side, near Lincoln Center. The building's name, meaning 'beautiful singing' in Italian, reflects its proximity to the Metropolitan Opera and the world of classical music.
The Upper West Side between 63rd and 72nd Streets is the heart of the Lincoln Center cultural district, where the Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet, New York Philharmonic, and Juilliard School attract performers and audiences from around the world.
The building's musical name is fitting for a neighborhood where the streets are filled with the sound of opera singers warming up, pianists practicing in apartment windows, and students carrying instrument cases to and from Juilliard's campus.
The indoor POPS provides lobby access to the public in a residential building that serves the Upper West Side's culturally engaged population. Many residents of this neighborhood are connected to the performing arts world centered at Lincoln Center.
Bel Canto's POPS connects the building's residents and neighbors to the musical spirit of the Upper West Side, where the beauty of song is not just a building name but a daily reality.
