Description	A view of the Hollywood Bowl looking down past tiers of wooden benches to a simple platform and covered structure. The Hollywood Hills are in the background.
Historical Background	In 1919, a group of art patrons in Los Angeles known as the Theatre Arts Alliance (later the Hollywood Bowl Association), purchased land in Bolton Canyon in the Hollywood Hills for a concert venue. The site was originally known as Daisy Dell, until a music director observed that the acoustics were so good because the place was shaped like a "huge bowl" and the new name stuck. On the evening of July 11, 1922, the first concert at the Hollywood Bowl took place with 5,000 in attendance, and was the first of many summer concerts dubbed the "Symphonies Under the Stars." The stage was a rather crude platform structure with a canvas top; moveable wooden benches fanned away from it, up the hill. Conductor Alfred Hertz led the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a program that included Wagner, Tschaikovsky, Brahms, and Rossini's "Overture" to William Tell. In 1991, a group of 80-100 musicians officially established the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra under the leadership of John Mauceri. As of 2008, the Bowl is one of the largest outdoor concert facilities in the world.
