No oranges involved in tonight's performance of Carmen, which is probably a good thing. This week is probably going to present the best opportunity for you to see Dudamel in person. The Hollywood Bowl tickets are cheaper than the Walt Disney Concert Hall tickets, there are many more seats to fight over, and tickets are still available for all of his shows. Tonight, Dudamel is making his US opera debut with Bizet's Carmen, if you're in a mood for some Toreador or Habanera. This concert starts 30 minutes earlier than your typical Classical concerts, at 7:30 PM. more ›
