catelouieMay 10, 2012This place is beautiful! Parking is a near on performance days so be sure to allow extra time to navigate the huge LA Music Center parking structure
Judy L.September 28, 2010Come 1hr b4 the opera start time for the pre-performance lecture on the 2nd floor. 1st timers, come on time or the doors will close & you will have to view the opera on TV screens until intermission.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Beautiful venue built in 1964; stepping inside is like going back in time. Home to the wonderful LA Opera. Get here EARLY due to parking & DTLA traffic, late-comers will get caught in the seating hold
Since it's a County venue, still need to mask and show proof of vaccination or negative COVID test before gaining entry. Everyone is so nice about it though! ( 3/23/22)
Gorgeous opera hall! Join the 30Club if you’re under 30 yo for $30 tickets!

Daniel MarkhamMarch 25, 2012You're not going to be sorely disappointed by the courtyard dining situation but then, you're not going to be blown away either. No shame in hitting it up if you have to though.
John MuciaFebruary 22, 2012Placido Domingo is great as Simon bottanegra. 1 of versus more obscure operasy
Pre-order food and drinks to avoid long lines at intermission
