Hollywood Bowl
Inaugurated as its first season in 1922, the audience found itself
seated outside on wooden benches under the stars on a hillside
in Bolton Canyon. Since then, the tradition of presenting the world's best
musicians continues to be a constant goal for the cultural landmark. Drawing
crowds of 18.000, the Hollywood Bowl has traditionally been the summer
home for the Los Angeles Philharmonic archestra. Fighting to maintain the mark
of excellence, the Bowl has continued to entertain audiences through
depression, financial stress, and internal dissention. To
Californians, these legendary music concerts continued to be
as important as beaches, The Dodgers and Disneyland. Helping to
make these concerts unique were legendary performers such
as: Sinatra, Pavarotti, Streisand, Stravinsky, Heifetz, F.D.R., The
Beatles, Mickey Rooney, Fred Astaire, Garth Brooks, and Nat "King" Cole just to
mention a few.
