Reviews
Beautiful venue for operas and operas. The supertitles were clear and the place was very clean. Even though we were seated very high up for our matinee of the Barber of Seville, we had a good view of the stage. My specific seat was a bit obscured by the railing but that made my ticket cheaper, so I was cool with it. Parking is $10 all day on weekends and in the evenings in the garage, or you can try to find metered spots. Theres a courtyard with tables outside of the venue so you can have a little picnic or opt to eat at one of the many nearby restaurants. Ushers are nice. Bathrooms are available only on stage right at the top floor. There were elevator banks but most people took the stairs. You can preorder food and drinks for intermission. Seats were a bit narrow but still comfortable.
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.
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.
The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion is the home of the LA Opera. It's a great, traditionally built Opera house with parquet, several balconies, and lots of crystal chandeliers!
Opera performances are usually exceptional and a pleasure to attend. Food and drink concession stands are highly overpriced, but what else would you expect in downtown LA. This season (2023-2024), parking in the garage underneath the Music Center is a $10 flat rate on performance nights.
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
Its biggest downside is that it sits right next to the Walt Disney Hall. Jokes aside, it's a nice venue, I've been there a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed the events but it's somewhat older and the ambience and acoustics are nowhere near its neighbor. Still though a nice venue and obviously, you go more for the event rather than the place itself.
They required masks which we liked because it was a sold out ballet! Fun fountain. Not far from public transit. The bathroom line moves quickly. The performance was interesting to say the least!
