Downtown Los Angeles is vibrating with the performing arts this spring, coming to life with works classic and new, exploding with pent-up expressions long held in check by pandemic restrictions and anxiety.
While some shows are still available virtually, most venues are eagerly welcoming the public back into their seats and hoping the audiences will come.
The next few months will see the arrival of touring shows, operatic passions, symphonic performances, classic ballets, new works, Cirque du Soleil, and all genres of musicians.
