Music Hall is one of the finest concert halls in America and the architectural centrepiece of Over the Rhine. The 1878 Victorian Gothic structure, with its elaborate terracotta ornament and twin towers, dominates the northern end of Washington Park. It is home to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Cincinnati Pops, Cincinnati Opera, and Cincinnati Ballet — making it genuinely one of the most heavily used major concert halls in the country.
Attending a performance here is the best way to experience the building, but guided tours of the interior are also available and cover the hall's history, its long deterioration, and the remarkable restoration. The acoustics were redesigned as part of the restoration and are now considered among the best in North America.
