Snugly nestled in the natural amphitheater of the Hollywood Hills, the world famous Hollywood Bowl has been a venue for all styles of the world’s greatest music since 1922. The history of one of Southern California’s most recognizable cultural icons is told in The Hollywood Bowl: Music Under the Stars, now available to all public television stations through the American Public Television Service. From the end of June to mid-September every year, nearly one million people fill the over 17,000 seat amphitheater to experience world-class performances of symphonic, pop, rock, country, theatrical and world music. The Hollywood Bowl: Music Under the Stars celebrates the 80th anniversary of this truly magical place, which has seen almost every famous crooner and musical performer — from Aerosmith and Fred Astaire to Trisha Yearwood and Frank Zappa — tread across its well-hallowed boards. The Hollywood Bowl epitomizes the laid-back lifestyle L.A. is known for the world over.
