The Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, California is the seventh hall of the Los Angeles Music Center, serving (among other purposes) as the home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. The Frank Gehry-designed building, an example of Deconstructivism, opened on October 23, 2003 and features his trademark plastic cladding. While the architecture (as with other Gehry works) evoked mixed opinions, the acoustics of the concert hall were widely booed in contrast to its predecessor, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
