Unbowled over.

SUPER Bowl Sunday is coming, but there may be a way to escape. For those few souls who won t be glued to the tube during the face-off between the Carolina Panthers and the New England Patriots, Feb. 1 will be an ideal day to enjoy some of L.A.'s less aggressive diversions.

* The J.

* Take in Baz Luhrmann's production of Puccini's "La Boheme" at the Ahmanson Theatre. Set in 1950s Paris, Luhrmann's adaptation had a successful run on Broadway last year.

* Haven't been to the Disney Concert Hall yet? The remarkable building is home on the First to the Los Angeles Philharmonic's "Berlioz Project," featuring Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting the Complicite theatrical ensemble, tenor Erie Cutler, base-baritone Kyle Ketelsen and the Pacific Chorale.

* Weather permitting, one can always drive out to the west end of Vanowen Street in West Hills or the north end of Los Virgenes Road in Agoura Hills and hike the trails of the Ahmanson Ranch. (The sprawling property was recently opened to the public.)

* Other possibilities include: A performance of "Nisei Voices: Japanese American Students of the 1930s Then and Now" at the Japanese American National Museum; a samba dance and drumming class at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach; "Risk," an exhibit at the California Science Center, where visitors can lie on a bed of nails or play cards and other games of chance while learning about risk; or "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Sunday" comedy at Groundlings.
