Hollywood Bowl
Over its history, four different shells have been constructed at the Hollywood Bowl. This project is the fifth shell, the first since 1929, and by far the largest and most complex. It features 10 arched steel trusses spanning up to 120 feet over the stage. As the centerpiece of an overall upgrade to the existing facility, the shell features state-of-the-art lighting and acoustical equipment carried in a suspended acoustic “halo,” a 70-foot-diameter stage turntable, rooftop fireworks platforms and video screens, and much-improved backstage and basement spaces. Our engineers worked tirelessly through design and construction to help complete the facility without a single lost performance.
