The Amato Opera House at 319 Bowery in New York City. Until recently, the lot on the left was an unsightly parking lot. This past year, we have been pleased to welcome our new, very gracious neighbors - the Chelsea Garden Center. Part of the amusement is to see the cast running through the gardens from the backstage entrance to the front of the house in order to make the occasional entrance. Honest, we try to tiptoe through the tulips, and not upon them!
