add to cart   close window

High on a hill, commanding a 7-acre crown in the center of Los Angeles, California, sits the new three-building performing arts complex known as the Music Center. Costing $33.5 million, the Music Center consists of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, and the two structures of the Center Theatre Group the Mark Taper Forum and the Ahmanson Theatre. The Pavilion is home for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Civic Light Opera and the Choral Society. The Center Theatre Group is Southern California's most ambitious regional theatre. The complex, designed by architect Welton Beckett, rises like an acropolis above the city's squatting gray office buildings, swirls of clotted freeways, and drab scuttle of civic center.
