See Maestro Dudamel conduct the LA Phil orchestra . Stunning architecture and there’s a garden . Perfect for a formal night out. Bands also perform here. Best of both worlds perform here!
Amazing acoustics with no bad seat in the house. Please make it a point in your life to see at least one show here. The architecture alone is worth the visit.
Can't miss during your LA visit. Go for dinner nearby then attend a concert for a perfect night. Or just visit to admire its architecture .
Concerts are beautiful, so is the building. Leave earlier than you think you need to because of DTLA traffic. Ask for directions inside, it's easy to get lost. NO late seating!
Season passes are the way to go. Fantastic acoustics and a world class orchestra with the redoubtable Gustavo Dudamel conducting-the entire season is a joy.
Though the stage and concert hall itself are usually off limits to even paid tours (due to rehearsals), the public spaces of the interior and the garden are still quite spectacular to explore.
You can visit it with or without an audiotour. It is worth it to get to see the gardens and architecture from inside.
Today downtown Los Angeles is bustling with great restaurants , shopping, museums , and a number of great tourist attractions like L.A. Live, the Staples Center, and The Walt Disney Concert Hall

Incredible venue with great acoustics . Fun to explore the interior architecture and roof garden during intermission.
A wonderful venue but it can be hard to maneuver around your first time there. Staff are friendly and can usually spot if you're lost.
