Rishab Rikhiram Sharma at The United Theater on Broadway

Sitar concerts in a 1920s movie palace do not come around every week. On Tuesday, November 24, sitarist Rishab Rikhiram Sharma takes the stage at The United Theater on Broadway, and the listing carries a "5 and Over" age policy, which makes it a rare evening of Indian classical music that families can plan around. If you are sorting through things to do in Los Angeles this month, this one stands out from the usual club and arena calendar.

When: Tuesday, November 24, 2026, 7:30 PM Where: The United Theater on Broadway, 929 Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Tickets: Through Ticketmaster (price not listed in our source) Ages: 5 and over, per the listing title

What to expect

Sharma plays the sitar, the long-necked, many-stringed instrument at the heart of North Indian classical music. A sitar set tends to build slowly: a quiet opening, a gradual gathering of pace, and a long stretch where melody and rhythm chase each other. It rewards listening closely, and a seated theater is a good place to do that.

We could not pull a full program from the ticket page, so treat the setlist, any opening act and the running time as unknown until the venue or Ticketmaster says otherwise. The ticket page is the place to confirm those details before you go.

The venue

The United Theater on Broadway is one of the grand old picture palaces on downtown's Broadway theater strip, a building made for large audiences and good acoustics. It is a reasonable fit for an acoustic instrument, where the room does a lot of the work. Our venue guide has the address notes, parking and bag rules.

Getting there

Broadway downtown is walkable from the Metro B and D lines, and the area has plenty of paid garages and lots, so you do not have to rely on street parking. A weeknight show means traffic will be heaviest before the 7:30 PM start, so leave extra time if you are driving in from the Westside or the Valley. Plan to arrive a little early: old theaters have narrow lobbies and entry lines can build.

Kids are welcome at this one, but a sitar performance is a quiet, attentive night, so it suits children who can sit through a concert. If you are building a list of upcoming events in Los Angeles for the end of November, put the date in your calendar now and check the ticket page for current availability.
