Los Angeles - Dorothy Chandler Pavilion

In the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion concerts (Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra), operas (Los Angeles Music Center Opera) as well as musicals and solo performances take place. The 3,200 seats are filled almost every evening. The opera company, performances by which are held in the months of October, December, February, April and May, has a modern repertoire by American standards: in the 1988/1989 season, for example, the company performed "Tales of Hoffmann" and "Orpheus in the Underworld", both by Offenbach, Janàcek's "Katja Kabanowa", Rossini's "Tancredi", Verdi's "Othello" and "Salome" by Richard Strauss. The Joffrey Ballet also appears here, mainly in the spring.
