History:

The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion is part of the Los Angeles Music Center with a capacity of 3197 seats across four tiers. The magnificent pavilion features wide curving stairways, beautiful hanging chandeliers and rich interior. The pavilion features 10 different areas, the orchestra section (premiere, center, main and ring), the circle section (grand and founders), the loge (front and rear) and finally the balconies (front and rear).

In 2003 the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and Master Chorale moved to the Walt Disney Hall, a new construction next to the pavilion, so now the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion homes the Los Angeles Opera and Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at the Music Center. Midnight Club: Los Angeles features the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in it's attempt to recreate the Los Angeles cityscape.

Under the acclaimed Roger Wagner the Los Angeles Master Chorale is the only other founding resident company at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. The New York City Opera regularly tour and perform in the Pavilion with 1967's tour featuring Madama Butterfly, La Traviata and Don Rodrigo. Plácido Domingo performed along side them in the early years. Other acclaimed and notable events include The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences annual Academy Awards ceremony between 1969 and 1999.
