Why "The Best Summer Venue In Los Angeles!" Well, simply, where else are you offered the incredible quality of sound of the Los Angeles Philarmonic set in front of a beautiful back-drop, and at the extremely low starting price of a dollar?! That's right, tickets for the back rows of the Hollywood Bowl begin at a dollar. For just one buck you get to hear one of the nation's - the world's greatest orchestras perform music from many greats such as Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Mendelsohn, Hayden, and many more. The line-up for the Hollywood Bowl summer events also includes contemporary acts. This past season they had Brian Wilson. The year before that Phoenix performed along with Sondre Lerche. Sigur Ros has also performed. The Dave Brubeck Quartet with The Ramsey Lewis Trio. Opera Divas and Tenors. Many of the greatest performers in music perform at the Hollywood Bowl, and admission to most shows begins at just one dollar. Some shows are a steeper ... ready for it ... three dollars, but these events include great extra feeatures such as their grand fireworks show on July Fourth. They also often do Movie Nights where great Hollywood film composers visit to conduct their great compositions in front of a great projection of film clips. There are also the occasionaly sing-a-long film nights. Two years ago, there was a complete production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream along with the Los Angeles Philarmonic performing the work of Mendelsohn. Also, a great feature of the Hollywood Bowl is the setting; patrons are sitting in front of a great view of the Hollywood Hills - including the Hollywood Sign. Performances begin and run mainly through sunset adding a nice visual feature. Do bring a blanket or a jacket, because it will get cold. The other great bonus is that the Bowl welcomes and in fact encourages guests to bring their own picnic baskets for food and wine. Bring some food, eat, listen to great music, and enjoy. Also, if parking is too much of a hassel, the Hollywood Bowl offers several shuttles for two dollars from several set Park-And-Go lots located around Los Angeles. Definately look into spending next summer at the Hollywood Bowl.
