Technical Package 2008 Season
Introduction
Nestled snugly in the Hollywood Hills, the Hollywood Bowl is the largest natural amphitheater in the United States. Seating nearly 18,000 patrons, the Bowl has been the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic since its official opening in 1922, home of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra since 1991, and presents outdoor concert performances each summer featuring classical, popular, jazz, world music, pop and more, presented by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association. Attendance figures over the past several decades have soared: in 1980 the Bowl first topped the half-million mark and last summer, close to one million admissions were recorded. The Bowl’s summer music festivals have become as much a part of a Southern California summer as beaches and barbecues, the Dodgers and Disneyland. The Bowl grounds themselves - one of Los Angeles County’s most renowned parks and a National Historical landmark - are open year-round for visitors to enjoy for free.
