What it is

Wikipedia · Cincinnati Music Hall

Music Hall, commonly known as Cincinnati Music Hall, is a concert hall in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, completed in 1878. It serves as the home for the Cincinnati Ballet, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Opera, May Festival Chorus, and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. In January 1975, it was recognized as a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior for its distinctive Venetian Gothic architecture. The building was designed with a dual purpose – to house musical activities in its central auditorium and industrial exhibitions in its side wings. It is located at 1241 Elm Street, across from the historic Washington Park in Over-the-Rhine, minutes from the center of the downtown area. In addition to classical music, the venue has also hosted pop/rock recording artists.
