About Opening Night

Opening Night at the Hollywood Bowl is the unofficial start to summer in Southern California. This year launched the 100th season in glamorous fashion, capped off with our famous fireworks. The event is also a deeply important source of revenue, providing essential resources for the LA Phil’s artistic and learning programming, including for the new Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen YOLA Center at Inglewood. Every dollar raised through Opening Night makes the LA Phil’s work—both on stage and in the community—possible.

Visit our online photo album to relive this historic night!

All proceeds from Hollywood Bowl Opening Night benefit the Los Angeles Philharmonic and its Learning and community programs.

This evening was made possible by the proud support of:
