The strikingly beautiful Walt Disney Concert Hall isn't just a new addition to the Music Center of L.A., it's a key element in an urban revitalization effort now underway Downtown. The Walt Disney family insisted on the best and that's what they got: a masterpiece of design by world-renown architect Frank O. Gehry, and an acoustical quality that equals or surpasses the best concert halls in the world. Similar to Gehry's most famous architectural masterpiece, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the concert hall's dramatic stainless steel exterior consists of a series of curved sculptural surfaces that partially envelop the entire building, presenting multiple glimmering facades to the surrounding neighborhood. Within is a dazzling 2,273-seat auditorium, as well as a restaurant, cafe, bookstore, and gift shop. The concert hall is open to the public for viewing, but to witness it in its full glory, attend a concert by the world-class Los Angeles Philharmonic.
