Reviews
"We visited in mid February 2024 and it was an awesome experience. We've decided for 2024 onward, to start experiencing more classy and upscale events. This fits the bill. I've passed the Music Center hundreds of times and always appreciated what I've seen. People, well dressed, experiencing live music or performances. I've always enjoyed live theatre and now I can say that I will be a part of it from here on out. FYI, this whole complex comprises four large venues including the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Walt Disney Concert Hall, The Ahmanson Theatre and the Mark taper Forum. All of these facilities are within this giant complex. whatever your forte, you can generally find some type of entertainment to strike your fancy. My wife and I dressed up and headed down to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on a Saturday. We saw The Rite of Spring and Common Ground. It was every bit as good, if not better than reviews that we read online. I think it's fair to say that live theatre is generally good, but this performance along with the classical music made for an unforgettable experience. Although I don't believe it was the case, the music sounded just like a live orchestra. Perfect sound to go along with the performances. Even before we left, we decided that we would be regulars at various events held at the Music Center. This is a classy event so we dressed the part and so did others in attendance. As such, you can expect for a well mannered crowd and it certainly was. I can't say this enough. This is a cultured event so be prepared for a memorable performance that will make a lasting impression. This event certainly did. At such a cultured event, one would expect the employees to be top notch and that's exactly what we experienced. Employees were positive, courteous and well mannered. A huge shout out to those hard working employees interacting with thousands of people. If you have an appreciation for Mid-Century Modern, you will appreciate the pavilion and it's architecture even more. This is coming from someone who appreciates all things Mid-Century Modern. The building and interior appointments are awesome. If you like such buildings, you will not be disappointed. This is a grand and historical building which further adds to the overall experience. An early 1960's Mid-Century Modern building and an awesome performance equals one awesome experience. If you are into live theatre or cultural events, make plans to visit the Music Center. There's a ton of events at this mega complex. For those new to the area, the Music Center parking is just north of the complex on the west side of the street, below ground. Be prepared for a line of cars as they make their way into the parking below street level. Be patient and be assured that the line moves quickly. experience. This is a solid 5 star and highly, HIGHLY recommended."
"All I can say is we are very blessed to have a place like this that can offer arts events at affordable prices for everybody to enjoy!"
"The Dorothy Chandler is a wonderful place to see the opera or the ballet. It is stunning inside and out. There are areas to walk, dine and drink. It is set in The Music Center in Downtown LA which has other play houses on site. Parking is easy on Grand in the structure there, and not expensive in the evening. You can also valet your car for about $18.00. Inside there is not a lot to eat, so dine at one of the restaurants located in the Music Center or nearby. During the holidays it is decorated with such beauty. The place is wonderful to begin with so you can go anytime. You can buy single tickets or get a subscription. The one thing they must do is come up with some new operas. There is only so many times I want to see the same thing. They should try newer operas and not just classics. You will enjoy your night out. Dress nicely."
"Great theater to enjoy the Opera. I had the pleasure to enjoy The Marriage of Fígaro with my husband and it was amazing. Parking was $10dll and we have some refreshers inside. We sat at the Balcony and the view was fine."
"Great theatre with modern upgraded conveniences like multiple subtitle screens for operas. However, even in the middle of the orchestra, I felt the sound was a bit low. The lighting on the stage was the same. The theatre is huge though. The L.A. Opera production was fantastic nevertheless. The Christmas decorations, dioramas, and opera costumes on display were very nice. Lots of food options for the intermission"
