The LA Opera House is a renowned venue located in Los Angeles, California. It is also known as the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, and it is part of the Music Center of Los Angeles County. The building was designed by architect Welton Becket and opened in 1964. The name 'Scala' is derived from the Italian word for 'STAIRCASE', which is fitting since the building features a grand STAIRCASE leading up to the main entrance.
