My penultimate stop on this short tour of LA was to the Music Center. It is one of the largest performing arts centers in the United States and is home to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Ahmanson Theater, Mark Taper Forum and the Walt Disney Concert Hall shown in the photo. Designed by Frank Gehry, a world renowned architect based in LA - whose best-known works include the titanium-covered Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao the Walt Disney Concert Hall – constructed from stainless steel, has a 2,265-seat Concert Hall and is home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Master Chorale.
The reflective stainless steel surfaces have had to be toned down to prevent dazzle to drivers!
NB. I have used the American spelling of ‘center’ etc. just in case anyone thinks I have not used the Spell Checker.
