One of your favorite musicians has performed at the Hollywood Bowl. How can I say that--I don't even know you! Because this preeminent venue has hosted so many of the world's top artists, that surely one of your favorites has been among them.
Though the Hollywood Bowl is world-famous for its concerts, perhaps the best time to see and enjoy the Hollywood Bowl is when it's empty. There is a special joy in beholding this very special place in solitude. You can tour the Bowl and the grounds free-of-charge when there's no concert scheduled. If you've never seen it, I'd highly recommend that you go.
Everything about the Hollywood Bowl is extraordinary. The architecture, of course, is a delight to behold. The grounds around the structure are surprisingly green and lush. Some of the other buildings in the complex, such as the box office, have a compelling style of their own. Still, it may be what you CAN'T see that's most impressive of all. It's the "ghosts." It's sitting on an empty bench and letting your mind rove back to the ‘60s to the Beatle's concert. Or back to the ‘20s, imagining the concert-goers arriving in their flivvers, the ladies decked out in their finest flapper regalia. Whatever decade you'd choose to imagine, the best and most talented members of the musical world would have been here.
Would you like to know just who's been on the Bowl's stage? Drop into the Hollywood Bowl museum, also here on the grounds. You'll find not only the answer to your question, but discover the answers to questions you've never conceived about the Bowl. Best of all, the museum is free!
