The L.A. Phil is treating another LA Observed subscriber to this weekend's late-night premiere of Pravda. Daniel Evans and a guest will be in the audience at Disney Hall, probably not far from Amanda Rounsaville and her guest. It's a hot ticket in town this week and one of the perks of signing up as an LAO Insider — thanks to Daniel and Amanda (and the L.A. Philharmonic) for supporting the site.
