The Walt Disney Concert Hall at 111 South
Grand Avenue in
downtown Los Angeles, California, is the fourth hall of the
Los Angeles Music Center and was designed by
Frank Gehry. It was opened on October 23, 2003. Bounded by Hope Street,
Grand Avenue, and
1st and 2nd streets, it seats 2,265 people and serves, among other purposes, as the home of the
Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra and the
Los Angeles Master Chorale. The hall is a compromise between a
vineyard-style seating configuration, like the
Berliner Philharmonie by
Hans Scharoun, and a classical shoebox design like the
Vienna Musikverein or the
Boston Symphony Hall.
