| The Greek Theatre, Los Angeles’ premiere outdoor theatre. The site was selected almost immediately after Ellen Beach Yaw, a noted local soprano, demonstrated the wonderful natural acoustics of the park's natural canyon. But complications in settling Griffith's estate delayed the actual construction nearly a decade. The design for the building, prepared by the Board of Park Commissioners after an extensive survey of Greek theatres, incorporated a number of improvements and modernizations on the standard Greek Theatre plan, including a massive underground garage. The cornerstone was laid in late 1928, and the building was officially dedicated on Sept. 29, 1930 to Sept. 29, 1929. The Greek Theatre, under the direction of the Nederlanders, has made a great impact on Angelenos and has become a continuing source of excellent income for the City of Los Angeles. In addition to hosting legendary musical performances too numerous to mention, the Greek Theatre has served as the site of dozens of school graduations and as a backdrop for many TV shows and motion pictures. | ||

The current capacity of the theatre is 15,200. | ||
