Suggestions for Arts and Entertainment near Downtown Los Angeles, Los Angeles

Cherith Z. • October 6, 2015Beautiful venue built in 1964; stepping inside is like going back in time. Home to the wonderful LA Opera. Get here EARLY due to parking & DTLA traffic, late-comers will get caught in the seating hold

Brian A. • November 17, 2018It’s beautiful and an experience of its own kind. Highly recommend checking it out.

Rosalyn G. • October 21, 2013Mo-chica on 7th and Grand. Absolutely 5 star Peruvian food. Best paella ever and easy to get in and out before show! A must!

Mark B. • October 28, 2016It's a beautiful space, and you can drink in there! 🍸

Mariana V. • July 15, 2016Amazing architecture! Try to make reservation in advance, otherwise, be ready to wait more than an hour to enter. It's worth it, tho.
