WELCOME! This summer we are celebrating the first 100 years of the Hollywood Bowl. In the past century, this beautiful space has grown from a simple idea to an iconic venue known worldwide. But beyond the bright lights and unmatched performances you will find what the Hollywood Bowl means to the people of Los Angeles. For so many Angelenos, it’s an essential part of summer, it’s a tradition passed down by families introducing their children to their first concert, and it’s a rite of passage for newcomers to our city. As a Los Angeles County public park, the Bowl is fundamentally a shared space meant for all. In our hundredth year, we also celebrate our long-standing partnership with LA County Parks & Recreation. It is a core part of the LA Phil’s mission to inspire and invest in our community through our stewardship of cultural treasures like the Hollywood Bowl. You can learn in the pages of this magazine about some of the countless stories both on and off the Bowl’s stage. What quickly becomes evident is that the Hollywood Bowl is a venue created, and ever-changing, to reflect the many cultures and aspirations of Southern California. Most importantly, this is a space where community thrives through the shared experience of live music. I hope you enjoy the concert and embrace this extraordinary space.

WELCOME FROM SUPERVISOR BARGER

Kathryn Barger & Chad Smith

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to welcome you to the Hollywood Bowl, one of the most historic and beloved concert venues in Los Angeles County.

Whether this iconic facility is hosting a performance by the exceptional Los Angeles Philharmonic or a concert with a visiting worldclass musician, the Hollywood Bowl is known for its commitment to excellence both on the stage and behind the scenes. This is the first year the Hollywood Bowl found its home in Los Angeles County’s Fifth District, making it part of the communities I have the privilege to represent. With such a rich and storied history, the Bowl is a welcome addition. No matter if you’re visiting from down the street, across the County, or around the world, I hope you enjoy your time at this special venue. I still hold near and dear to me the many memories I’ve made at the Hollywood Bowl throughout my life. I know your experience here will be just as memorable, whether it’s your first show or

you’re a frequent visitor. Be sure to take advantage of all the incredible opportunities available to you this season! Hop on the convenient Park & Ride shuttles accessible from all over the County, take a gander at the delicious food options, get a sneak peek at your seats, and find everything else you need to know at hollywoodbowl.com/visit. You can stay in touch with me at kathrynbarger.lacounty.gov or on social media for the latest updates in our community. I look forward to connecting with you soon and hope to see you at a Hollywood Bowl concert this season! Best wishes, Supervisor Kathryn Barger Fifth District, Los Angeles County

A MESSAGE FROM DIRECTOR NORMA EDITH GARCÍA-GONZÁLEZ

Norma Edith García-González

The Hollywood Bowl is well known as a concert venue, but it is so much more than that. For example, did you know that the Hollywood Bowl functioned as a food distribution site and voting center, serving thousands of Angelenos in need during the COVID-19 pandemic? After two difficult years, I am so glad that we are able to return to the Hollywood Bowl with our families and friends for a new

8 PERFORMANCES JULY 2022

summer concert season. It is certainly a time of excitement, not only for music lovers but also for those who work behind the scenes to make it a memorable experience for all. The Hollywood Bowl is a unique venue in a beautiful setting. I am proud to say that the Hollywood Bowl is a part of the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation (LA County Parks) system. We are partners with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and work together to enhance the dual role of the Hollywood Bowl as an LA County Park and world-class performance venue. Our mutual teams work tirelessly all year long to get ready for the summer concert season. LA County Parks is also thrilled to be partnering with the LA Phil—in celebration of the Hollywood Bowl’s centennial—to launch the Hollywood Bowl access program, providing youth and seniors in our parks the opportunity to experience the magic of the Hollywood Bowl summer. This partnership serves to further strengthen LA County Parks’ commitment to access for all! The global pandemic has underscored that parks and public spaces, especially those that are close to home, are crucial to our quality of

life. During this crisis, many Los Angeles County residents have turned to parks like never before for fresh air, exercise, respite, and a sense of peace. Research shows that parks are indeed critical for our wellbeing, with numerous studies documenting the benefits for social, physical, and mental health. When the LA Phil and other musicians are not on stage, the Hollywood Bowl is open to the public for recreation and exercise. The Bowl offers a magnificent park where visitors can stroll, bring out-of-town guests, take pictures in front of the iconic shell, and learn about the Hollywood Bowl’s history at the on-site museum. The amphitheater is also the perfect setting for a great workout, with exercise enthusiasts taking advantage of the steps throughout the park. LA County Parks is also proud to offer dynamic summer programming, from concerts and movies in the parks to aquatic programming, trail hikes, overnight family camping, and much more. For more information, please visit parks.lacounty.gov. As for now, sit back, relax, and enjoy music under the stars…

My wealth. My priorities. My partner. You’ve spent your life accumulating wealth. And, no doubt, that wealth now takes many forms, sits in many places, and is managed by many advisors. Unfortunately, that kind of fragmentation creates gaps that can hold your wealth back from its full potential. The Private Bank can help. The Private Bank uses a proprietary approach called the LIFE Wealth Cycle to find those gaps—and help you achieve what is important to you. SM

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

GUSTAVO DUDAMEL

Gustavo Dudamel is driven by the belief that music has the power to transform lives, to inspire, and to change the world. Through his dynamic presence on the podium and his tireless advocacy for arts education, Dudamel has introduced classical music to new audiences around the world and has helped to provide access to the arts for countless people in underserved communities. As the Music & Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, now in his 12th season, Dudamel’s bold programming and expansive vision led The New York Times to herald the LA Phil as “the most important orchestra in America—period.” Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dudamel has committed even more time and energy to his mission of bringing music to people across the globe, firm in his conviction that the arts play an essential role in creating a more just, peaceful, and integrated society. A landmark event was the highly anticipated launch of Symphony, a touring virtual reality project in collaboration with La Caixa Foundation that features Dudamel and 101 musicians from 22 countries in a stateof-the-art, immersive VR film experience. The free touring exhibition, housed in two mobile pop-up cinemas, launched in Barcelona and will travel to hundreds of towns across Spain and Portugal in order to allow tens of thousands of people to have access to the power of symphonic music. In April 2021, it was announced that Dudamel would join the Paris Opera as its next Music Director, for six seasons beginning in August 2021. Dudamel has led more than 30 staged, semi-staged, and concert productions across the world’s major stages, including five staged productions with Teatro alla Scala, productions at the Berlin and Vienna State Operas, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and 13 operas in Los Angeles, with repertoire ranging from Così fan tutte to Carmen, from Otello to Tannhäuser, from West Side Story to contemporary operas by composers like John Adams and Oliver

Knussen. As part of his inaugural season as Music Director of the Paris Opera, Dudamel is conducting performances of Puccini’s Turandot and Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro. Following his U.S. debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl in 2005, Dudamel became the orchestra’s music director starting with the 2009/10 season, and, under his direction, the LA Phil has secured its place as one of the leading orchestras in the world. Inspired by El Sistema, Dudamel, the LA Phil and its community partners founded YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles) in 2007, now providing 1,500 young people with free instruments, intensive music instruction, academic support, and leadership training. In fall 2021, YOLA opened its own permanent, purpose-built facility: The Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen YOLA Center at Inglewood, designed by architect Frank Gehry. One of the few classical musicians to become a bona fide pop culture phenomenon, Dudamel conducted Bernstein’s iconic score for Steven Spielberg’s new adaptation of West Side Story. His extensive, multiple-Grammy

Award®-winning discography numbers 57 releases, including Deutsche Grammophon LA Phil recordings of the complete Charles Ives symphonies and Andrew Norman’s Sustain (both of which won the Grammy Award® for Best Orchestral Performance), and, most recently, Mahler’s Symphony No. 8, “Symphony of a Thousand” (winner of the 2022 Grammy for Best Choral Performance). Dudamel’s advocacy for the power of music to unite, heal, and inspire is global in scope. Shaped by his transformative experience as a youth in Venezuela’s immersive musical training program El Sistema, he created the Dudamel Foundation in 2012 with the goal “to expand access to music and the arts by providing tools and opportunities for young people to shape their creative futures.” For more information about Gustavo Dudamel, visit his official website at gustavodudamel.com and the Dudamel Foundation at dudamelfoundation.org. “The rare classical artist to have crossed into pop-culture celebrity.” —The New York Times’ Zachary Woolfe and Laura Cappelle

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC The Los Angeles Philharmonic, under the vibrant leadership of Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel, presents an inspiring array of music through a commitment to foundational works and adventurous explorations. Both at home and abroad, the LA Phil—recognized as one of the world’s outstanding orchestras—is leading the way in groundbreaking and diverse programming, on stage and in the community, that reflects the orchestra’s artistry and demonstrates its vision. 2021/22 marks the orchestra’s 103rd season. More than 250 concerts are either performed or presented by the LA Phil at its three iconic venues: the Frank Gehrydesigned Walt Disney Concert Hall, The Ford, and the famed Hollywood Bowl. During its winter season at Walt Disney Concert Hall, with approximately 165 performances, the LA Phil creates festivals, artist residencies, and other thematic programs designed to enhance the audience’s experience of orchestral music. Since 1922, its summer home has been the world-famous Hollywood Bowl, host to the finest artists from all genres of music. Situated in a 32-acre park and under the stewardship of the LA Phil since December 2019, The Ford presents an eclectic summer season of music, dance, film, and

12 PERFORMANCES JULY 2022

family events that are reflective of the communities that comprise Los Angeles. The orchestra’s involvement with Los Angeles extends far beyond its venues, with wide-ranging performances in the schools, churches, and neighborhood centers of a vastly diverse community. Among its influential and multifaceted learning initiatives is YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles), inspired by Venezuela’s revolutionary El Sistema. Through YOLA, the LA Phil and its community partners provide free instruments, intensive music instruction, and leadership training to nearly 1,500 students from underserved neighborhoods, empowering them to become vital citizens, leaders, and agents of change. In fall 2021, YOLA opened its own permanent, purposebuilt facility: the Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen YOLA Center at Inglewood, designed by architect Frank Gehry. The orchestra also undertakes tours, both domestically and internationally, including regular visits to New York, London (where the orchestra is the Barbican Centre’s International Orchestral Partner), Paris, and Tokyo. As part of its global Centennial activities, the orchestra visited Seoul, Tokyo, Mexico City, London, Boston, and New York. The LA Phil’s first tour was in 1921, and the orchestra has made

annual tours since the 1969/70 season. The LA Phil has released an array of critically acclaimed audio recordings, including world premieres of the music of John Adams and Louis Andriessen, along with Grammy® Award-winning recordings featuring the music of Johannes Brahms, Charles Ives, Andrew Norman, and Gustav Mahler. Deutsche Grammophon released a comprehensive box set in honor of the orchestra’s Centennial. The Los Angeles Philharmonic was founded in 1919 by William Andrews Clark, Jr., a wealthy amateur musician. Walter Henry Rothwell became its first Music Director, serving until 1927; since then, 10 renowned conductors have served in that capacity. Their names are Georg Schnéevoigt (1927-1929); Artur Rodziński (1929-1933); Otto Klemperer (1933-1939); Alfred Wallenstein (1943-1956); Eduard van Beinum (1956-1959); Zubin Mehta (1962-1978); Carlo Maria Giulini (1978-1984); André Previn (1985-1989); Esa-Pekka Salonen (1992-2009); and Gustavo Dudamel (2009-present). “So far ahead of other American orchestras that it is in competition mainly with its own past achievements.” — The New Yorker’s Alex Ross

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

HOLLYWOOD BOWL ORCHESTRA The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra is comprised of approximately 80 players, an international mix of classically trained musicians who are among the best studio musicians in Los Angeles. Many spend their days on Hollywood’s scoring stages. It might be surprising to learn that there is no overlap between the musicians of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra—another indicator that LA has a tremendous pool of musical talent. Musicians have been performing at the Hollywood Bowl since its opening in 1922. “Bowl Orchestra” was used as early as 1925, and “Hollywood Bowl Orchestra” appeared on live recordings made in 1928. Leopold Stokowski was Music Director of the Hollywood Bowl

orchestra in 2006, Mauceri was awarded the lifelong title of Founding Director of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. In 2008, Thomas Wilkins began an appointment as Principal Guest Conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. From June 2014, he became Principal Conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, in which position he continues to lead the ensemble each summer in a diverse range of concerts at the fabled outdoor venue. From Mozart to Motown, the repertoire of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra is as diverse as Hollywood itself. In a single season, the orchestra may perform everything from Broadway favorites to film music, pop music to jazz, and classical music to world premieres by living composers. In essence, the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra does it all.

HOLLYWOOD BOWL MEMORIES As part of the celebration of the Bowl’s first 100 years, we’ve asked performers and audience members to share with us stories and experiences from their time on and off the stage. You can watch the Hollywood Bowl 100 Memories series on the Bowl’s social media channels and enjoy these excerpts below.

JOANNE PEARCE MARTIN

I’ve been the keyboardist since 2001. My first weekend on the job I began at the Hollywood Bowl with John Williams. This was my first time playing with him at the Bowl and my first couple of nights as the keyboardist with the LA Phil. He comes into his rehearsal in the morning. We get up there, and we rehearse several things with him. And then he starts looking at his stack of music, and there are some of the more popular things like the Superman march or the theme from [Raiders of the Lost Ark]. He starts looking at them and says, “We can just do this tonight without rehearsal.” There were four or five things, and I’m sitting there [anxious] thinking, “Oh. Gee.” Speak about adrenaline rushes. The first concert comes that night, and it was pretty exciting to do those four or five [pieces] jumping back and forth. Everything went great, but my heart was definitely beating faster than normal.

24 PERFORMANCES JULY 2022

BRAMWELL TOVEY

When you walk out on stage, that walk is about twice as far as you normally would go in a concert hall. I’m a bit of a klutz, so I’m always thinking, “My goodness, I’m going to trip, I’m going to collapse, I’m going to fall, I’m going to do something silly.” So by the time you get out to the podium, you’ve done the hardest bit of the concert usually. You know what’s so nice, especially for someone who was not born in America, is to conduct “The Star-Spangled Banner.” To have the audience stand every night. The orchestra stand and face the flag. That’s really moving, and it helps to begin the evening. It’s sometimes those little things that set the atmosphere. It doesn’t look like anything much, but actually you’ve already set the atmosphere. You’ve sampled the Bowl by [taking part] in that experience.

THOMAS WILKINS

I love rolling down the window and watching people as you’re leaving [the Hollywood Bowl]. Because I love watching and experiencing the energy that’s in the space after a concert. There’s a new kind of joy and spirit where you get the sense that they feel their lives have just been enriched in this really neat way. We’ve always had this model here where you can go to a concert anywhere, but we want your Hollywood Bowl experience to be unlike anything else. How cool is it that you can put 18,000 people into a space, and it still feels like a community? That’s the Hollywood Bowl right there. Everybody comes together, and they end up becoming one when they’re here. And that’s a great thing to be a part of.

FIFTEEN YEARS OF YOL A A decade and a half ago, the first class of 80 students in the LA Phil’s new Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA) program gathered in the Expo Center in South LA. Guided by the vision and experience of Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel growing up in Venezuela’s El Sistema, YOLA is a youth development and music instruction program that provides free instruments and intensive instruction in communities where it often wouldn’t otherwise be available. Fifteen years in, YOLA now serves more than 1,500 young musicians at five sites, leading Gustavo Dudamel to say, “It has been one of the highlights of my career to watch YOLA grow from a simple idea to something that impacts so many young musicians’ lives.”

BECK MEN YOL A CENTER OPENS IN INGLEWOOD After years of planning, fundraising, and construction, the Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen YOLA Center opened its doors last year, welcoming its first class of young musicians. The 25,000-square-foot center features world-class acoustics and spaces that serve both as the home of YOLA’s fifth site as well as a gathering place for students from existing and future YOLA sites. In addition to its youth programming, the Beckmen YOLA Center is a space for music educators from across the U.S. and around the world to collaborate and learn. “We’re really excited to be in Inglewood,” said Camille Delaney-McNeil, who is the Director of the Beckmen YOLA Center. “This is a new area not only for YOLA but also for the LA Phil. We’re not just coming here to pop up shop; we’re building roots and trying to make a resource for the community by highlighting young people in the arts.”

26 PERFORMANCES JULY 2022

An example of that outward-facing mission came together in May when YOLA partnered with the Getty and CARS (Community Arts Resources) to host the Getty 25 Celebrates Inglewood community festival, during which the Beckmen YOLA Center opened its doors to host performances. Opening for classes last fall, the YOLA at Inglewood program at the Beckmen YOLA Center hosts more than 130 young musicians. The center will grow to support more than 500. Dalanie Harris grew up in Inglewood and is a YOLA alumnus who was in the program from 7th grade up until college. Harris said she is excited by the open design of the building that invites passersby to see into the windows. “A big part of it is representation,” she said. “People can see in as they walk by, and [it’s important] for people to not only see an orchestra in their community but an orchestra that looks like the community.”

YOLA AT THE SUPER BOWL Musicians of YOLA are no strangers to big stages, with YOLA musicians joining the LA Phil on international tours. Even still, performing for a TV audience of 100 million in the pre-game festivities

ahead of Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood was a rare opportunity. Conducted by Thomas Wilkins with music direction and arrangement by Derrick Hodge, musicians from YOLA accompanied gospel duo Mary Mary in a moving performance of “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” The performance marked the second Super Bowl appearance by YOLA, the first being the 2016 halftime show performance with Coldplay, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. YOLA musicians performing at SoFi Stadium also got tickets to watch the game. “It really was a moment to celebrate their accomplishments and hard work as young musicians,” said Director Delaney-McNeil.

THE FIRST

YEARS OF MUSIC: 7-LP VINYL BOX SET

In its first century, the Hollywood Bowl hosted legendary performances from some of the biggest names in music history. The Los Angeles Philharmonic has called the Bowl home for decades and has made a tradition of presenting unparalleled artistry in a gorgeous setting. Frank Sinatra caused a sensation when he became the first pop musician to sing with an orchestra on the Bowl stage. Rock artists brought the counterculture into one of LA’s most esteemed venues. Annual musicals, starstudded specials, titans of jazz—if it’s soul-stirring or foot-tapping, it’s happened at the Bowl. And now, you can bring the Bowl’s history home with the Hollywood Bowl 100 vinyl box set. Beautifully designed to reflect the diversity of sounds that have made the Bowl one of LA’s richest cultural institutions, the set comprises seven LPs of recordings made live on the Bowl

stage—including some from as far back as 1928. The set captures the sonic heritage of the Bowl’s first century, with performances by everyone from the LA Phil—led by conductors including Eugene Goossens, Igor Stravinsky, Zubin Mehta, and Gustavo Dudamel—to The Doors to Audra McDonald, with frequent stops between. Order your copy now, available exclusively at the LA Phil Stores at the Bowl, at Walt Disney Concert Hall, or online at laphilstore.com, and get ready to relive some of the greatest moments of the Hollywood Bowl’s first 100 years. Each purchase includes a limited-edition tote bag.

YEARS OF SPECTACLE Celebrating this historic season, the newly published Hollywood Bowl: The First 100 Years—written by Derek Traub and edited by Julia Ward and Robin Rauzi— draws on first-hand accounts and rarely seen photographs to answer the deceptively simple question: What makes the Hollywood Bowl, the Hollywood Bowl? The following has been edited for space and excerpted from the book’s fifth chapter, which explores the venue’s legacy of grand, over-thetop productions.

DANCERS FROM THE 1926 JULIUS CAESAR PRODUCTION POSE IN COSTUME (top) AND PERFORM ON STAGE ( bottom )

36 PERFORMANCES JULY 2022

The Hollywood Bowl—a venue dedicated to music and democracy— ironically was inspired by a play about the fall of a democracy. Although its founders disagreed about many of the details of the Bowl’s origins, to a person, they all cited a spectacular 1916 production of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar as the event that sparked their dream for an outdoor venue in Hollywood.

F E AT U R E

Julius Caesar was performed on Friday, May 19, 1916, in Beachwood Canyon. An intensely ambitious group of theater lovers turned the Hollywood Hills into the Seven Hills of Rome for a one-night-only performance. Their production spared no expense, calling for a total of 5,000 actors to embody the armies. The Roman leaders were played by leading stars of the day. The entire complement of 35,000 tickets sold out in advance. It was the production’s jaw-dropping scale that encouraged the Bowl’s founders to seek out a space large enough to inspire a similar sense of wonder, which they eventually found about a mile west in Daisy Dell. That 1916 production was almost certainly the most epic performance in the history of the city. An article in the Los Angeles Times set the scene: “The hills have been cleared of brush, the stage leveled, the seats laid out, the roads for the passage of troops of Caesar and Brutus have been built… Rome itself has been reproduced, as nearly as possible…Dancing girls, to the number of 500, will stand behind Caesar’s attendants when his army passes in review. It is intended that elephants, camels, and other animals be used in this procession. Actual combats between armies numbering into the thousands will be staged upon the hillsides. The mob scene will employ more than 1,500 men.” All the characteristic features of a Hollywood Bowl spectacle can be traced back to Beachwood Canyon in 1916: the mixing of elaborately built sets and natural landscapes, casts composed of both professional and amateur performers, large troupes of dancers, choral singers numbering in the hundreds, and even the use of large and exotic animals. Julius Caesar inspired the Hollywood Bowl’s leaders to think big. They’ve been doing so ever since. When the 10th anniversary of that memorable Julius Caesar

A SET FOR CARMEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN 1922

came around in 1926, the Hollywood Bowl’s leaders decided to re-create the grandeur of the 1916 production with a new Julius Caesar that would close the Bowl’s summer season. H. Ellis Reed, intrepid builder and superintendent of the Bowl, led volunteers who constructed massive sets designed by architect Lloyd Wright (son of Frank Lloyd Wright). They stretched for more than a city block in length, centered around a Roman column that towered 75 feet into the air. Behind the stage, Reed built arches, colonnades, and bridges into the hillside, where armies would march and meet in battle. Advance notices in the Los Angeles Times warned patrons that there would be no parking available at the Hollywood Bowl that night. The Times stated, “Unshackled by traditional stage limitations, the production will utilize to the utmost the natural facilities offered by the Hollywood Bowl. … This novel method of Shakespearean stagecraft is made possible by the type of architecture and lighting that is being employed for the play.” Longtime Hollywood Bowl lighting designer Otto K. Oleson mounted two bright spotlights to illuminate

the sections of the hillside where the action was taking place. Wright’s stagecraft included an elaborate rigging system, enabling the sets to be dismantled and moved without long pauses for set changes. The cast included hundreds of high school ROTC students dressed as Roman warriors participating in the battle scenes, a choir, an orchestra, and 60 dancers from Russian-born choreographer Alexander Oumansky’s ballet school. Once again, Hollywood stars filled the leading roles, with Lon Chaney, then at the height of his fame, portraying the villain Cassius. At the time of the Bowl’s founding, Los Angeles did not have a purposebuilt opera house. For nearly 30 years, the Bowl was a place where Southern California opera fans could focus their energies. They realized early on that the Bowl was in many ways an ideal venue for them—the natural acoustics were perfect for unamplified voices; the huge number of seats meant they could sell thousands of tickets, defraying the cost of what is normally a prohibitively expensive endeavor; and the idyllic setting lent itself perfectly to many canonical operas.

F E AT U R E

Early-20th-century productions of Aida performed in front of the Great Pyramid of Giza had sparked a global interest in outdoor, site-specific opera. Because of Spain’s cultural influence on Southern California, the Hollywood Bowl Association chose Georges Bizet’s Carmen as

the first opera to be produced at the Hollywood Bowl. A community chorus of 350 singers was assembled, many of them of Spanish descent. The set’s Spanish-style buildings of plaster with tiled roofs were as reminiscent of California’s missions as they were of Seville, Spain, the setting of the opera.

38 PERFORMANCES JULY 2022

Carmen was a collaboration between the Hollywood Bowl Association and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which put up more than $40,000 to get the one-night program off the ground. In addition to signing the artists, hiring creative leaders, and constructing sets, the Chamber’s investment went into re-grading the hillside and adding new bench seats to accommodate larger audiences. Carmen was scheduled for July 8, 1922 (three days before the first orchestral concert of the opening season of Symphonies Under the Stars), to coincide with a full moon, for ideal natural lighting to augment the rudimentary stage lights. The Pacific Electric Car ran special “Excursion” trains to bring patrons to and from the Bowl. Three grand opera stars took the leading roles: tenor Edward Johnson, bass Henri Scott, and superstar soprano Marguerita Sylva, who was greeted as if she were a movie star by fans, reporters, and musicians from the American Legion Band when her train rolled into Union Station.

F E AT U R E

With Carmen as the starting point, the Hollywood Bowl Association continued to dream bigger and bigger. They also filled the opera void in Los Angeles by producing shows year-round at the Shrine Auditorium and Philharmonic Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles. Their greatest achievement would, however, occur at the Hollywood Bowl in 1934. Once again, Bowl history was made with a production based on a Shakespearean play: renowned Austrian auteur Max Reinhardt’s staging of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, featuring the music of Felix Mendelssohn. Reinhardt was a leading director and theater manager of spectacle performances around the world who had founded the renowned Salzburg Festival with Richard Strauss in 1920. The Austrian thought the Dream was perfectly suited to the film capital of the world. “The theme is quite modern,” he smiled. “Oberon and Hippolyta think they are in love, so do Titania and Theseus. But they have a change of heart and an exchange of partners. That is like Hollywood, no?” After the Symphonies Under the Stars season ended, Reinhardt and Weissberger’s team had less than three weeks to transform the Hollywood Bowl into his conception of the city and forest of Athens. His crew began at midnight after the last concert, first by removing the Bowl’s bandshell, which could be moved aside on railroad tracks at the time. The stage—all 2,500 square feet of it—comprised a pond, artificial hills planted with grass, and a dozen oak trees brought from the forests of nearby Calabasas. Pacific Electric Car wires on Highland Avenue had to be temporarily taken down to move the mature oaks into the Bowl. A bridge was suspended from an adjacent hillside, 350 feet behind the stage. Court processions (with hundreds of extras) walked down it to enter the stage by torchlight. Thirty thousand electric lights were

strung above the stage, the audience, and the hills to simulate fireflies. Reinhardt’s casting was no less ambitious. He said he “struck gold” when he found Mickey Rooney, a 14-year-old actor who was perfectly suited to play Puck. When Gloria Stuart and her first understudy left the project just a week before the opening, second understudy Olivia de Havilland (age 18) became Hermia. Her love interest was played by movie star William Farnum, who had performed in the 1916 Julius Caesar. Total attendance for the eight performances was 103,000. A who’s who of Hollywood celebrities were in the seats: Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow, Gloria Swanson, Mae West, William Powell, Theda Bara, Adolph Zukor, Harry Cohn, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Cecil B. DeMille, Darryl Zanuck, Dolores Del Rio, Sid Grauman, Samuel Goldwyn, Jack Warner, Ernst Lubitsch, and Marlene Dietrich. The reviews of Reinhardt’s Dream were glowing. Critics cited not only the scale of the production, but the intimacy Reinhardt was able to create through the Bowl’s natural setting.

The Bowl was home to many spectacle-driven opera, ballet, and dance performances in the 1930s and beyond, but possibly the most thundering sounds yet heard at the Hollywood Bowl came in 1964, when The Beatles’ first Los Angeles appearance inspired screams so loud “they were like standing in a jet stream,” according to one fan in attendance. With Beatlemania exploding across the country, the Fab Four’s concert sold out in an instant and drew 18,000 frenzied fans. The Beatles’ concert was seen and not heard, as the screams of fans drowned out the band’s instruments and voices. The noise could reportedly be heard echoing in the hills above the Bowl and down on Hollywood Boulevard below it. The symbolic importance of the Beatles choosing the Hollywood Bowl over the much larger Los Angeles Coliseum had a lasting impact. John Lennon said, “It was the one we all enjoyed most, I think, even though it wasn’t the largest crowd— because it seemed so important.” The show was also important for the Hollywood Bowl itself, as it

ovpened the door to the venue for the biggest names in rock and roll: Bob Dylan played there shortly after going electric in 1965, the year The Beach Boys also made their debut. Sonny & Cher, The Rolling Stones, Peter, Paul and Mary, and The Who all performed at the Bowl over the next few summers. Jimi Hendrix brought a wall of amps so loud that their fabric covers peeled and ripped from the strain of the volume. The raucous concert led to one of the Hollywood Bowl’s most talked-about incidents. Bruce Geary, former drummer of The Knack and Los Angeles native, was there. “When [Jimi] Hendrix started playing “Purple Haze,” about 2,500 people rushed down to the front,” said Geary. “It got so crazy that I got pushed into the pool, and my camera was ruined. There must’ve been a hundred or more people in the water. At one point, someone was tugging on a microphone cord, and the microphone nearly fell in the water. Just as it was falling, Hendrix stopped it with his foot. I believe everyone would’ve been electrocuted, so he saved our lives." Chaos continued to take hold at the Hollywood Bowl’s rock shows for the

next handful of years, drawing the ire of county officials, the Bowl’s leadership, the venue’s neighbors, and its ushers, who were on the front lines. When The Doors made their debut at the Bowl in 1968, at the peak of their fame, the show was unfortunately scheduled for July 5. Music critic Pete Johnson wrote: “There were firecrackers left over from the previous day, so the evening was punctuated with detonations and pyrotechnics from self-appointed entertainers in the audience.” The scale and spectacle of rock shows at the Bowl grew in the 1970s, but the growth was unsustainable. Because bands could break the Bowl’s rules and then leave without facing consequences, eventually the residents and civic stewards of the Bowl pushed back. If rock and roll was going to find a permanent home there, it would need to find promoters who would value the place, understanding its history of spectacle but also respecting the need to balance that level of production with the limitations of putting on concerts in a public park in a densely populated community.

of the venue, Bill Silva noted the Bowl’s “cachet” as its biggest draw for artists, saying, “What we find is the desire of artists to play here is so high that they’ll route their entire tours around it. They’ll set the L.A. show at the Bowl, then book the rest of North America. That happens frequently. I remember the first time Carlos Santana was here. At sound check he asked everybody to leave the stage, and he just walked around for ten minutes by himself. After, he said, ‘I could feel Miles out there.’” In the last two decades, rock and pop performances have been by no means limited to lease events. Weekend spectacular shows frequently feature popular performers sharing the stage with the Bowl’s resident bands, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. That dichotomy—which brings together close to 20,000 screaming fans and a symphony orchestra—is not a contradiction. It is the Hollywood Bowl’s signature. Then-Chief Operating Officer Arvind Manocha helped drive the expansion of the LA Phil’s offerings at the Bowl in the early 2000s, recalling,

“I remember the first time Carlos Santana was here. At sound check, he asked everybody to leave the stage, and he just walked around for ten minutes by himself. After, he said, ‘I could feel Miles out there.’” —BILL SILVA In 1991, the LA Phil’s leaders formed a partnership with producers Bill Silva and Andrew Hewitt, who were given an exclusive, long-term contract for rock and pop shows at the Bowl. Hewitt and Silva developed a model for “lease events”—in which the LA Phil would sublease the venue for a certain number of nights each summer to Hewitt and Silva, who could produce popular concerts that were outside the purview of the LA Phil’s usual offerings. The model worked. Hewitt and Silva, now Live Nation-Hewitt Silva, produce between 15 and 20 shows each summer, bringing to the venue top-tier acts from across the music world. Beyond the size

“The breadth of the place is really the thing that I remember the most, and what I think makes the community’s relationship with the venue so vastly different than any other venue. You don’t feel like it’s really a classical music venue, and, once in a while, I get to go there for my thing. I think if you’re an indie rock person, you think it’s the greatest indie rock venue in L.A. If you’re a classical person, you’d think, ‘I love hearing the orchestra there.’ If you are a jazz person, you’d think ‘I love the jazz story of the Bowl.’ That’s clearly their focus. Everybody can feel that way because there’s room for everybody under that tent.”

In the 21st century, the Hollywood Bowl continued to grow as a locus for performances on a grand scale. When the Bowl’s shell was replaced in 2004 with a structure 30 percent larger, it became a state-of-theart venue and the possibilities for new types of performances were an invitation for creative minds. LA Phil Chief Executive Officer Chad Smith— who was responsible for orchestral programming at the Bowl that summer—collaborated with thenMusic Director Esa-Pekka Salonen on a production that kicked off the Bowl’s new future by looking into its past with a performance of Felix Mendelssohn’s incidental music for A Midsummer Night’s Dream, staged by the theater company A Noise Within. Today’s stage directors at the Bowl, including Susan Stroman, Neil Patrick Harris, Kathleen Marshall, Adam Shankman, and Michael Arden, hail from the worlds of theater and film. They also must find creative ways to work around

the busy schedule of the Hollywood Bowl’s summer season of concerts. Tech time is limited to Tuesday and Thursday nights. After the classical concerts end at about 10:15pm, the crew rushes on stage, working right up to a midnight deadline. Costumers, choreographers, and lighting and set designers also work on an abbreviated timetable, doing the careful geometry of how to use the limited stage space to create a musical that will fill the Bowl’s amphitheater. Described as a mix between “summer stock and summer camp,” the rehearsals happen within an intense two weeks leading up to the show. Because the commitment is brief, film and television stars and in-demand Broadway actors are able to take on roles they had dreamed of playing but previously hadn’t had the time to do. Brian Grohl began working with Bowl musical producer Steven Linder in 2004 and has watched as the scale and scope of the musicals has expanded. “When we started,” Grohl

said, “we were doing the classic mid20th-century musicals, but in the 2010s we became more ambitious with the titles we selected, doing more modern musicals, building more extravagant sets, and casting a wider net to draw the incredible talent that we brought in both on stage and off.” Oscar-winner Jeremy Irons starred as King Arthur in Camelot in 2005; a decade later Craig Robinson donned the crown as King Arthur in Spamalot. Reba McEntire and Brian Stokes Mitchell headlined South Pacific. Sutton Foster and Cheyenne Jackson went Into the Woods in 2019. In 2002, The Who’s Roger Daltrey heard about the Bowl’s upcoming production of My Fair Lady and immediately called his manager. The character of Eliza Doolittle’s father, Alfred, had always reminded him of his grandfather, and he knew this was his opportunity to play the part. He came in to meet with producers and, unprompted, sang the complete lyrics to “Get Me to the Church on Time.”

The Hollywood Bowl’s artistic leadership also engineered a whole new kind of spectacular show starting in the 1990s—a Bowl “takeover” by the likes of the Looney Tunes, Sesame Street, The Simpsons, The Muppets, and Blue Man Group. These complex, elaborate productions are mounted in a performance space with no backstage, minimal wings, and a full orchestra taking up most of the stage. To make it work, Grohl explained, “It’s about the music. Everything else, all the other production on top of that, is kind of icing on the cake. The Simpsons or The Muppets [had] not done a lot of live stage shows—for obvious reasons—but by getting them to focus on their music, we were able to go places they had never thought to go before.” When The Simpsons came in 2014, the entire Bowl campus was transformed into Springfield—with characters spread throughout

the Bowl, poking fun at the Bowl’s difficult parking or the indignity of a “high art” venue being taken over by cartoon mayhem. On stage, the stars of the show portrayed their characters for a live audience for the first time. Illustrious alumni of The Simpsons’ writers’ room, including Conan O’Brien, performed songs they’d penned. The Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles appeared as the iconic Stonecutters (a parody of the Freemasons). Audiences were dazzled by a flame-throwing sousaphone, and Hank Azaria’s beer-shilling character, Duffman, brought out the first T-shirt cannon army in Hollywood Bowl history. True to form, The Muppets brought an even zanier energy to their 2017 weekend spectacular. Disney invested more than $1 million to create firstof-their-kind live performances, including showstopping numbers by Miss Piggy and Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. Show writer Kirk

Thatcher explained how they used the Bowl’s size and video screens to create a layered experience for the audience: The biggest question is, how do you hide the puppeteers? Because the Hollywood Bowl is so big, most people will watch it on the huge television screens they have set up around the stage—especially The Muppets. “Kermit is the size of your elbow to your hand, so basically you have a star who is 18 inches tall [and] the closest people will be to him is at least 25 feet away. … It’s a very involved type of live show with live music and pre-taped music, live video, and pre-taped video, live talking and singing plus pre-recorded elements, all coming together with Muppets and people who are dancing and singing and performing along with them. It’s insane. I mean it’s probably the hardest thing in some ways we’ve done, because it’s all done in real time. If there’s a mistake, you’ve got to keep going.”

Fortunately, the show went off without a hitch, from the opening with patriotic Sam the Eagle leading the audience in “The Star-Spangled Banner” to the fireworks finale set off by pyromaniac Muppet Crazy Harry. As a performance space, the Hollywood Bowl is a challenge in every sense of the word, but one that artists continue to rise to, innovating as they go. After a century of showpieces, the Bowl continues to evolve, limited only by the imagination of the next generation of performers who bring their vision to it.

THE M AKING OF THE MUSES As thousands of Angelenos pour into the Hollywood Bowl this summer, most will pass beneath the kind and watchful gaze of the three muses, perched atop a tiered Streamline Moderne fountain at the North Highland Avenue entrance.

Built against the backdrop of the Great Depression and with war threatening to engulf the world, the Muses of Music, Dance, Drama sculpture embodied the city of Los Angeles’ resilient optimism that music and art would endure in difficult times. As the Los Angeles Times described it, “The 200-footlong, 22-foot-high sculpture was heralded as one of America’s most ambitious art projects in 1939 when artists and craftsmen hired by the federal government for the Depression-era Works Progress Administration Federal Arts Project began constructing it.” This project was led by Charles Toberman, the real estate developer of such Hollywood landmarks as the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Toberman was president of the Hollywood Bowl Association for one season in 1923 and then from 1934 to 1950, and he petitioned the WPA in 1938 for the funds

to build the fountain, as well as a tearoom and restrooms. Designed by George Maitland Stanley, the sculpture was carved by him and a crew of stone cutters from about 300 tons of granite quarried near Victorville. At 35, Stanley had worked on projects across Los Angeles, but he was best known for one of his smallest designs: the 13-and-1/2inch Oscar statuette, which he created in 1929 at the behest of MGM art director Cedric Gibbons for the first Academy Awards. Born in Louisiana, Stanley began drawing at the age of three. After moving to central California with his family, he came to Los Angeles to study at the Otis Art Institute, where he ultimately ended up teaching for over 20 years. It was there that he found his calling in sculpture, and he subsequently went to the Santa Barbara School of the Arts to study bronze casting. After returning to Los Angeles, Stanley

began to receive commissions for architectural carving and bas reliefs, both for private homes and for commercial and public buildings such as Bullock’s Wilshire, Scripps College, and the Griffith Observatory, where he was one of six sculptors contributing figures to the Astronomer’s Monument, a Public Works of Art Project in 1934. For the Hollywood Bowl Fountain complex, Stanley designed three heroic sculptures in an Art Deco style. The central figure shows the kneeling Muse of Music playing a lyre. The Muse of Dance is poised mid-movement, and the Muse of Drama holds the theater masks of comedy and tragedy. These figures were sculpted from the Victorville granite and placed on a tiered fountain made from 1,180 tons of concrete and faced with more granite. Stanley envisioned the sculpture as both an entrance to the Bowl and to all of Hollywood, a city working to define itself as a

creative and artistic capital. With the help of Los Angeles County Supervisor John Anson Ford, Toberman got the project approved at the end of 1938. As sponsor, the County provided $1,000 for the materials, and through the WPA the federal government granted $100,000 for labor and construction. The completed monument was dedicated on July 8, 1940, the day before the opening of the 19th season at the Bowl, which featured José Iturbi conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic in music by Wagner, Richard Strauss, and Rimsky-Korsakov, with tenor Richard Crooks the soloist in popular songs. The Fountain was an immediate success as the gateway to the Bowl, quickly becoming an icon celebrated on posters and postcards. Time was not kind to the muses, however. In the early 2000s, pollutants and bird droppings eroded and discolored the surface of the sculptures, and mineral deposits built up in the fountain pools. In 2006, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Hollywood Bowl completed a major reconstruction project on the fountain, carefully restoring Stanley’s design to its original luster and adding modern digital signage, waterproofing, and plumbing upgrades. As the Bowl celebrates its 100th season, the restored and fresh-faced muses are poised to greet guests for many years to come.

Wines include whites such as Albariño, labeled “the Soñadora,” and memorable reds including a Monastrell—the grape known as Mourvèdre in France—and a Reserve Tempranillo. “Temecula is known for bigger, bolder reds and we have those,” says winemaker Chris Johnson. “But we also want to present more delicate reds, to bring the refinement that Spain does so well.” It’s elegant and idyllic, with picturesque views in every direction.

The Gaspard’s patio and expansive lawn beyond offer ideal vantages, with the backdrop of live music, most often a Spanish guitarist or singer, on weekends. Views elsewhere on the property include a pair of neighboring wineries—Fazeli Cellars and Robert Renzoni Vineyards—whose own beauty adds to the scene. Tasting options range from a one-hour seated experience to a tour of the estate with pairing of a half dozen wines and artisan cheeses. The olive grove is popular for private events. Gaspar’s brings coveted jamón serrano, Spanish olives and Catalan gambas—sauteed shrimp with a spicy saffron sauce and garlic confit—as well as a burger, made with a blend of Prime Black Angus short ribs and brisket plus bacon and Gruyère cheese, that has a bona fide following.

/ Akash / A PHOTO OF a vineyard was perched above the fireplace in Akash Patel’s boyhood home; bought by his father at a Temecula winery, it was a daily reminder of his family’s dream of owning its own vineyard and winery. In 2010, his parents, immigrants who’d built a successful motel chain in New Mexico, took the first step in realizing that dream: They purchased a 20-acre parcel of vineyard land in Temecula Valley and entrusted its development to Akash—20 years old at the time and pursuing a business management/marketing degree. “They presented it to me and basically said, ‘If you want to do this, you’ll figure it out,’” Patel recalls. “I’d seen the success my parents had achieved. I thought if they’re going to put my name on it, I’m going to make sure that name is a good one.”

COURTESY AKASH WINERY

Ninety minutes south of Los Angeles, at the geographic heart of Southern California, is the picturesque Temecula Valley Wine Country, nearly 50 wineries nestled in rolling hills and anchored by Old Town Temecula. The area’s first winery opened nearly half a century ago; three years ago, Wine Enthusiast magazine deemed it one of the world’s top wine travel destinations. Distinctive new Altísima, Akash and Bottaia add to the allure.

Their trust was well placed; Patel started making wine in 2014 and opened Akash Winery & Vineyards with winemaker Renato Sais in 2019. Now 31, he produces two labels: the eponymous Akash, using estate-sourced grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah, and Dreamville, whose bottlings include a sparkling Sauvignon Blanc and a Malbec sourced from neighboring vines. Wines from both labels have earned Wine Enthusiast scores of 90 or more. Tastings of flights take place inside and at patio bars overlooking the vineyards. Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizza is available Thursdays through Sundays. Other experiences include yoga on the patio and picnics in the vineyards. Adjacent to the tasting room, and sharing

the patio, is Akash Brewing, where offerings include ales, IPAs and, most popular, a kettle sour using hibiscus and pineapple. Patel is also following in his parents’ hospitality footsteps: A resort on the property is in the works.

/ Bottaia /

AFTER FARMING THE Brookside ranch since 1984, and operating the Ponte Vineyard since 2003, the Ponte family replanted Brookside’s most suitable blocks to Italian varietals from Aglianico to Zibibbo, built a stunning winery to produce them and in 2018 unveiled Bottaia. The name means cask-aging room in Italian. Though best described as modern barns, Bottaia’s buildings are in fact inspired by Northern Italian luxury—the country houses of the Veneto designed by Andrea

Palladio. Palladio’s 16th-century architectural principles dictated a temple-like main building flanked by ancillary buildings, in Bottaia’s case dedicated to fermentation and storage. Beyond the structures is a stunning swimming pool, open weekends through the summer, with Italian-style cabines and chaises and its own café and cocktail bar. The vineyards extend to the horizon. Bottaia sources about a dozen singlevarietal wines, notably Montepulciano, as well as blends from its 45-acre estate vineyards. Aging takes place in large concrete tanks and oak vats and casks. The property offers several tasting experiences. Enjoy the wines by the bottle, glass or flight on a deck overlooking the vineyards or in a sophisticated livingroom-like lounge with soaring ceilings and striking vineyard views. Taste six estate wines from the bottle and one from the barrel as part of a onehour experience in the cozy barrel room or five estate wines paired with charcuterie—and maybe a bonus late-harvest Montepulciano—in a cheery communal setting for up to two hours. Be a winemaker for a day in the Wine Blending Lab: Taste four varietals of young red wine from the barrel, blend them into three separate red blends and taste again: Your favorite blend will be bottled, corked, capsuled and labeled to take home.
