Cincinnati Music Hall
Music Hall
A Victorian Gothic Revival music hall completed in 1878, home to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Cincinnati Opera and designated a National Historic Landmark.
Music Hall is a red-brick Gothic Revival landmark facing Washington Park across the street, and it's the most eye-catching building in Over-the-Rhine. It's the home of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Pops Orchestra, Cincinnati Opera, and the Cincinnati Ballet, and it hosts the May Festival, a music festival founded in 1873. A major renovation in 2017 refreshed the main hall's acoustics and decor. You can catch a concert during the performance season, and building tours are offered on select days. Local ghost stories about the hall also make its evening tours especially popular.
