Thomas Sondergard opened the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s summer season at the Hollywood Bowl. The Los Angeles Times noted that there were a lot of empty seats and titled: « L.A. Phil opens its Hollywood Bowl season on somber notes »
They also raise the question whether it is the presence of Trump’s National Guards that prevented people to come: « The military on our streets has produced an L.A. edginess. Could that have contributed to the Bowl’s unusually low opening-night attendance? Ticket sales were said to have been strong, making the many empty seats worrisome no-shows. »
