dolby theater guided tour

The theatre is equipped with Dolby Atmos ® cinema sound playback—the most natural, lifelike sensory experience available in a cinema. Complete with 215 individually powered loudspeakers, the Dolby Theatre features one of the most sophisticated sound systems in the world.

The theatre is equipped with Dolby Vision ® projection technology—delivering incredible color, a million-to-one contrast ratio, and twice the brightness of standard screens.

We've been working with talented filmmakers to create unforgettable movie experiences for more than 40 years. From the cinema to the living room, Dolby continues to transform the entertainment experience, and the Dolby Theatre reflects our ongoing commitment to help moviemakers realize their visions.

One of the world’s premier entertainment venues, Dolby Theatre has hosted a range of prestigious artists and events including IRIS by Cirque du Soleil, Alicia Keys, Celine Dion, Prince, Elvis Costello, Barry Manilow, Stevie Wonder, Harry Connick, Jr., Melissa Etheridge, Dixie Chicks, Tyler Perry, American Ballet Theatre and various touring Broadway productions.

Notable television and awards events at Dolby Theatre have included the American Idol finals, AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards to Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, and George Lucas, Daytime Emmy Awards, ESPY Awards and BET Awards.

For the theatergoer, Dolby Theatre experience begins on Hollywood Boulevard, where a towering portal, designed by Rockwell, serves as the grand entrance to the theatre, which is set back from the street. A two-story Awards Walk, featuring backlit glass plaques for each Best Picture Oscar ® winner on a series of limestone portals, leads up a sweeping staircase with red mosaic tile to the main entrance.

The five-level theatre lobby is centered by a grand spiral staircase with cherrywood balustrades, topped by an oval, uplit silvery dome. Certain lobby design elements were inspired by Michelangelo’s Campodiglio in Rome and Busby Berkeley’s choreography. Twenty-six spectacular images of famous Oscar ® winners including Grace Kelly, Jack Nicholson, Marlon Brando, Halle Berry and Julia Roberts are permanently displayed on four lobby levels as photographic transparencies on clear plexiglass hung in front of shimmering beaded “silver screen” panels.

The audience chamber is highlighted by a silver-leafed “tiara”, a striking, looping oval structure that both supports and disguises an immense ceiling grid for lighting. Reflective ribs from the tiara extend down between the theatre’s box seats, creating a continuous flow from wall to ceiling. The chamber was designed to draw attention to the action on the stage, as well as to achieve the maximum intimacy between audience and performers. It is appointed with sumptuous details that give the space warmth including cherrywood finishes and deep plum upholstery, as well as a shimmering glow provided by curtains of two shades of iridescent fabric and a fine bronze mesh that stretches to the top of the proscenium, which measures some 64 feet wide by 35 feet high. The main stage area is one of the largest in the nation, at 120 feet wide and 75 feet deep.

Wolfgang Puck Catering and Events, owned by celebrated chef Wolfgang Puck, is the exclusive provider of food and beverage services for Dolby Theatre, including front of house, backstage and special private events that can be held in the theatre lobbies and the Dolby Lounge.

Guided theatre tours are offered with production and performance schedule exceptions.  Please refer to the Tour Schedule for availability. The walking tour offers visitors architectural and historical highlights of the world-renowned venue, as well as a glimpse of the ultra glamorous side of Dolby Theatre on Hollywood’s biggest night – the Oscars ® .

Dolby Theatre is located within Ovation Hollywood, which consists of over 640,000 square feet of space featuring national, regional and local retail tenants, a variety of restaurants, several of Hollywood’s hottest nightclubs, a six screen state-of-the-art cinema adjacent to the world-famous TCL Chinese Theatre (formerly known as Grauman’s) and the 640 room Loews Hollywood Hotel.

Get Ready for: The Doobie Brothers’ 2024 Tour – What You Need to Know

• Copied to Clipboard

The Doobie Brothers are rockin’ down the highway across North America for The 2024 Tour . After reuniting for their massive 50th Anniversary Tour, the classic lineup of Pat Simmons, Tom Johnston, Michael McDonald and John McFee is takin’ it to the streets once again for a coast-to-coast trek that keeps you runnin’ through October.

The 2024 Tour kicks off at The Forum in Inglewood, California on June 23. The band will use the new circuit to keep on rollin’ to new stages such as New York’s Madison Square Garden on August 7, while also making return visits to Denver’s Ball Arena on August 29, White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, Washington on September 6 and more. In May, the group announced an additional six dates in Canada, pushing the closing night to October 16 in Saint John, New Brunswick.

Find everything you need to know beyond “Listen to the Music” to get ready for The 2024 Tour, including how to get The Doobie Brothers tickets , below.

Who are The Doobie Brothers?

The Doobie Brothers are a two-time Grammy-winning band that formed in San Jose, California in 1970. Starting as a quartet, the group’s lineup has changed and expanded several times over their more than five-decade career, though they still managed to blend various influences from rock, jazz, R&B, pop, soul and folk harmonies into a distinct, slick sound later dubbed “yacht rock.” Since sharing their self-titled debut album in 1971, the band has released 15 studio albums, six of which have gone platinum, and 16 Top 40 singles, including their two Hot 100 chart-toppers, 1974’s “Black Water” and 1979’s “What a Fool Believes.” More hits like “Listen to the Music” and “Long Train Runnin'” were compiled on 1976’s Best of The Doobies , which became their first diamond record. Overall, The Doobie Brothers have sold more than 40 million records worldwide.

The group disbanded in 1982, but have reunited on multiple occasions. In 2020, nine members of The Doobie Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and recommenced touring together a year later for the 50th Anniversary Tour. The current lineup features founding members Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons as well as keyboardist and vocalist Michael McDonald and guitarist John McFee, who joined the band in 1975 and 1979, respectively.

How to Get Tickets for The Doobie Brothers Concerts

The Doobie Brothers tickets and VIP packages for The 2024 Tour are available via Ticketmaster.

What to Know for The Doobie Brothers’ The 2024 Tour

The 2024 Tour continues the celebratory spectacle of the 50th Anniversary Tour, which spanned nearly 150 shows in North America, Asia and Australia between 2021 and 2023. While its predecessor marked the first shows featuring the lineup of Tom Johnston, Michael McDonald, Pat Simmons and John McFee in over 25 years, The 2024 Tour will find the group building on their freshly road-fueled chemistry.

Along with signature Doobie Brothers songs like “Jesus is Just Alright,” “China Grove” and “Takin’ It to the Streets,” the group have also made a habit of teasing their past Steely Dan ties — via McDonald and former guitarist Jeff “Skunk” Baxter — with a recurring cover of the band’s 1974 single “Pretzel Logic.” While The Doobies take front-and-center vocally, the stage is completed by their longtime touring band led by bassist John Cowan, drummer Ed Toth, percussionist Marc Quiñones and saxophonist Marc Russo.

Where to watch movies for free in Moscow this summer

People watching a movie in a Pioner 24-hour open-air cinema in Gorky Park.

Temporary cinemas will be popping up across Moscow very soon, starting from July 16. All of the spots are brilliant examples of either constructivist or avant-garde architecture, so expect striking settings. A selection of classic Soviet films will be aired using cinematic equipment from the last century. All the screenings are free although online registration is required beforehand, while there will also be guided tours of the spaces, organized by the “Moscow through the Engineer's Eyes” company.

Registration will be open soon at mos-kino.ru

Bread factory

Following the success of former factories transformed into art spaces (VinZavod, Arma, Trekhgornaya manufacture), Khlebzavod (“bread factory”) No 9 is one newly opened joint that is attracting creative types from all over the city. The movie Time! Forward! will be screened in the building’s boiler room on July 16. It follows workers from the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, one of the largest steel companies in Russia, and is based on a novel by Soviet writer Valentin Kataev.

What’s more, Khlebzavod is a monument to constructivist architecture. Where better to watch such a film?

Novodmitrovskaya St. 1

Roof of the Narkomfin Building

The Narkomfin Building was originally designed to house high ranking employees at the Commissariat of Finance. It was built by architects Moisei Ginsburg and Ignaty Milinis. Also a fine example of constructivism, it’s currently in a state of disrepair, locked down, and fairly difficult to get into - which is like a red flag to a bull for more adventurous types.

However, on July 30 the place will be opened up and people will be welcomed onto the roof to watch the film Faith and Truth.

Novinsky Blvrd . 25b1

Khrushchyovka courtyard

A courtyard located in the 9th experimental block of the Novye Cheremushki district will turn into an outdoor cinema this summer. Cheremushki is the first district where Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchyov decided to build the iconic Khrushchyovka apartment blocks in the 1950s. As a result, thousands of Russians were given their own pads after decades living huddled together in communal apartments known as kommunalka .

Cheremushki is the adapted film-version of Dmitry Shostakovich’s operetta and will be shown here on Aug. 6. The organizers of the multiple screenings - the Moskino cinema chain - say they will revive the Soviet tradition of neighbors meeting in courtyards for a good old tongue wag. There will also be a guided tour of the block.

Address to be confirmed at mos-kino.ru

Pioneers Palace

If you want a slice of the postwar Soviet avant-garde style, head to the Pioneers Palace at Vorobyevy Gory. Pioneers Palaces were youth centers for sport, creativity, and hobbies for Young Pioneers (a communist organization for children) during the Soviet Union. There were dance classes, martial arts, drawing, and many other activities.

To Love a Man , a movie about two young architects building a new town in Siberia, will be shown here on Aug. 22. There will also be a lecture about building experiments in the 20th century.

Kosygina St. 17b2

A secret place

The last cinema venue remains a secret. On Aug. 27 there will be a screening, but at the moment no one knows where. Information will appear on mos-kino.ru but those who attend all four screenings above will be able to guess the last location.

A talk about architecture and Soviet history also will be hosted here.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

The best facilities were built for them: the world’s largest centrifuge and hydro laboratory. Many cosmonauts from other countries (USA, Japan, Germany and many others) also have trained here together with Soviet Russian cosmonauts. On this Star (Space) City Tour you will see:

• Models of Soyuz Soviet spacecraft
