Today marks the 75th anniversary of the Radio City Music Hall opening. It was originally envisioned by John D. Rockefeller as a Metropolitan Opera Hall in 1929, however, his plans were dashed by the failing economy. Instead, Rockefeller teamed with RCA and S.L. "Roxy" Rothafel to create a theater unlike any other in the world.
Since its opening, over 300 million people have visited Radio City. It has hosted over 700 movies in years past. Today, Radio City Music Hall is best known for it's Christmas Spectacular and the Rockettes.
