The home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, a four-storey steel sculpture by Frank Gehry that opened in 2003 and has become the architectural symbol of downtown LA. The performance hall inside is a wooden vineyard-style auditorium with the orchestra in the centre, surrounded by sloping audience tiers.
Free hour-long audio tours of the public spaces run on most non-performance days; tours of the auditorium are rarer. Music director Gustavo Dudamel made the orchestra one of the most famous in the world; tickets to a Disney Hall concert are still relatively easy and one of the best classical music experiences in the country.
