The Hollywood Bowl will start things off at 4000 capacity in May based on Los Angeles County Public Health guidance and anticipates ramping up to greater capacity later in the summer as guidelines evolve.

The L.A. Phil will kick off their opening series of shows with four free concerts for healthcare workers, first responders and essential workers as a gesture of thanks for all they have done for Los Angeles throughout the pandemic.
