Cincinnati Music Hall, a Victorian Gothic masterpiece, has been the city's cultural heart since 1878. It houses three resident companies: the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Opera, and Cincinnati Ballet. The hall's rich interior, with its ornate woodwork and stained glass, creates an intimate yet grand atmosphere. Visitors can attend performances ranging from classical concerts to ballet and opera, or take a guided tour to learn about its history and architecture. The adjacent Washington Park offers a lovely pre-show gathering spot.

Don't miss

  • Attend a performance by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, one of America's oldest orchestras.
  • Take a guided tour to see the hall's hidden architectural details, including the original 1878 organ.
  • Enjoy a pre-show picnic or drink at Washington Park, just steps from the hall.
