On the night of July 11, 1922, in a large natural amphitheater in Bolton Canyon,
California, 18,000 people sat under the stars on simple wooden benches placed on
the natural hillside. They listened to a performance of the Los Angeles Philharmonic
under the direction of conductor Alfred Hertz. It was an historic evening: the opening
of the Hollywood Bowl.
Since that time, the Hollywood Bowl has come to be known as one of the finest musical
venues in the world. The amphitheater holds over 85 musical performances each year
from June through October. In addition to the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Hollywood
Bowl presents artists from all musical genres, ranging from Faith Hill to Aretha
Franklin.
With an audience so large and so much talent on display, the Hollywood Bowl represents
a daunting security challenge. Each evening represents a new test, and each show
requires a well-orchestrated performance by security personnel to keep things moving
safely and on time.
