Belasco Theater (Los Angeles)
The Belasco Theater is a historic theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California. Opened in 1926, it operated as a playhouse and briefly as a movie theater until its closure in 1950, after which it was used for non-theater purposes. The building was renovated and reopened as a music venue called The Belasco in 2011. Live Nation became its operator in 2020. Oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny commissioned the theater's construction; local architectural firm Morgan, Walls & Clements designed it in the Churrigueresque style.
