When a piece requires two orchestras and sixteen choirs to perform a piece, there’s far more to setting the stage than simply throwing up a few music stands and some extra chairs.

This time lapse video of Walt Disney Concert Hall being readied for a performance of Mahler’s Symphony no. 8 by the LA Philharmonic and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela should definitely appeal to the techies out there who never get the due they deserve once the curtain goes up.
