LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles Philharmonic Association (LA Phil) April 9 announced plans for the reopening of its outdoor concert venues—the Hollywood Bowl and The Ford—for the 2021 season, starting with four free concerts for health care workers, first responders and essential workers as a gesture of thanks for their work throughout the pandemic.
Based on county Public Health guidance, the Hollywood Bowl will be able to welcome a limited-capacity audience of 4,000 people when concerts resume beginning in May. The LA Phil anticipates ramping up to greater capacity later in the summer as guidelines evolve.
