Breathe taking! The outside and the inside architectures was outstanding. It felt like a real music hall with a victorian feel. Watched Alice and Wonderland ballet at the top balcony. It was scary going up the stairs, but the view did not bother me as much. Although I wish I spend a few more dollars to see it at ground level. I recommend to go see this place if you haven't been to Cincinnati. I love this place. read more

Enjoyed watching the opening show of the Pelleas and Melisande series. The quality of sound was great from the 2nd floor balcony, with a decent view. The music hall appeared to be in great shape especially for its age. Seats were comfortable and arrangement of the seating and balcony made for easy navigation. read more

Music Hall - Warm up before the show - Performing Arts Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The acoustics are so good here. The seats are comfortable. I used to love to watch the ballet there. I actually saw the Who do a concert there . One of my all time favorite memories. With Washington park fixed up the surrounding area is more relaxed . read more

I am so excited that this gorgeous historic venue is getting a much needed renovation. From the backdrop to Lumenocity to the home of the Opera, Symphony and Pops, to the place where I had my prom, this beautiful building is an integral part of the charm and cosmopolitan nature of Cincinnati. Truly worthy of the world-class artists that come to grace our home with their talents and fitting of the artistic heights our Cincinnati musicians reach at every performance. read more

Been here for a few Pops concerts and I am amazed by the architecture and acoustics. We are very lucky to have such a beautiful and historic music hall and professional symphony in our own backyard. If you live here and you haven't gone here yet, go. It should be a right of passage for anyone living here. read more

This is one of my all time favorite places in the city. So beautiful, so full of rich history and character. I'm so glad they are saving it! To have the beautiful Washington Park right across the street and Memorial Hall right next door makes it all the more magical when you go here. Parking is right across the street and very safe, clean and well lit. I Love it! read more

Very cool venue. Iconic Cincinnati. Amazing acoustics. The seating is very cramped if you aren't on the small side. However, they are about to renovate and I hear they may be enlarging the seats. read more

Wonderful place! Houses the Music Theater and the Opera House. Absolutely beautiful, both inside and outside. Variety of events to attend, some for free or really affordable. Good programme with Classical Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and more funky Pops. I especially enjoyed Pixar show with the music synchronized with animated scenes projected on big screen above the band. And absolutely fabulous LUMENOCITY!, a must-see for all ages! I still need to try the ghost tour around the building at night, heard it was fun! Lucky us to have such a gem in Queen City! read more

Very impressive place! We saw the Cincinnati Pops perform there last fall. Beautiful decor and excellent acoustics. I was surprised to learn that the building houses so many rooms besides the auditorium: a ballroom and at least two other smaller reception rooms. I guess that's why it takes up an entire block! read more

Music Hall is a great place to Catch a show. Whether it's the symphony, May Fest or the Opera...honestly this place is great. It has a some pillars that can block the view, so if you are seeing the something visual, check where your tickets are when you buy them. But if you're listening to a concert it's not as big of a deal. The acoustics in this hall are fantastic. As a singer I can say that this is a great hall to sing in. And having seen several performances here I LOVE listening in here. Hard to find a beat seat acoustically. read more

Cincinnati Music Hall is a beautiful location, full of history and stories that will both tingle your musical senses and your paranormal ones! I've experienced some of the best live music of my life in this location, and if you can manage to get into one of the (monthly?) ghost tours that are offered, definitely do that, too! read more

Music Hall is an incredibly beautiful hall and the perfect excuse to go formal for the evening. The surrounding neighborhood is improving but is still kind of rough so be careful parking at night. I've attended symphonies, plays, proms and college oriented activities over the years and the event coordination has always been fantastic. I followed my favorite band there for an event they were playing in one of the private party rooms a few months ago. The space was large and almost intimidating with sconces and giant window treatments. The college crowd mostly ignored the band but I got a blurry photo of conductor, Paavo Järvi and some free food. Attend the Enchanted Ball in October and find out all you could imaging about the resident ghosts. read more

Music Hall is one of the crown jewels of Cincinnati. It is beautiful on the outside and stunning on the inside. It is the number 1 venue in sound quality i have ever been in. It is also known for something else other than music though. It was built on a massive grave site from the early 1800's illness outbreak that killed hundreds if not thousands. It is know to be one of the most haunted buildings in Cincy. In the fall you can go on the haunted Cincinnati tour and go look for lost souls inside the hall its self. read more

Music Hall is a beautiful building. It is home to the Symphony, Opera, Pops, May festival, sometime the Ballet. All of these are first rate organizations. I would highly recommend seeing any of them. I was there is last time for the Ballet's performance of Alice in Wonderland (the ballet is usually at the Arnoff). The show was spectacular. A very modern ballet. The costumes were designed by the person that designed cirque du soleil Ovo show, so they were unbelievable. It is suppose to be haunted, it was built where there had been a hospital for contagious diseases and then a children's home, both where there were many deaths. I took a ghost tour there once and many of the employees have had unusual experiences. But the performances their are always first rate. It is an iconic building in OTR. Now it has been enhanced by the remodeling of Washington Park. The new Washington Park makes a beautiful front yard for this magnificent building. read more

Music Hall is one of the greatest landmarks in Cincinnati. Until recently I haven't been since going to field trips when I was in school, but now attend a couple of CSO concerts a year. Not only is the building beautiful, you also have a world class orchestra to enjoy. Within the next couple of years Music Hall will undergo some rennovations and I can't wait to see the transformation of the Hall and the updated Washington Park across the street. read more

A beautiful national historic landmark to enjoy the talented Cincinnati Pops Orchestra!

Music hall is one of the best performing centers i have been in. It has some incredible acoustics. The only complaint is that you can't get in much earlier than the performance starts. See something here if you're in Cincinnati. read more

Cincinnati's Music Hall is a staple for any true city-goers. The beautiful architecture, high quality productions and group of people make it a worthwhile night out. The price range is always different based on events but my family has been subscribing for 10 years and they constantly offer deals. Pro tip: try the chocolate covered potato chips from the concession at intermission! read more

Incredible venue in dire need of restoration and modernization. I've been going to music hall since I was a young boy on school trips. My most recent trip was yesterday for the Opera Carmen. Excellent acoustics and the quality and heritage of the venue go without saying (read the other reviews). However, there are some critical needs that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. First of all, the balcony seats make airline seats feel roomy. The pitch of the seats is not comfortable, nor is the poor leg room. Since the venue is rarely sold out, why not modernize with some comfortable seats. Secondly, the average age for most Music Hall performances is somewhere near death. Sorry, but you know I'm right. Let's figure out ways to get younger butts in seats. I propose lowering price points, loosening up the policies and let folks bring in drinks (as does the Aranoff). read more

The building is amazing. Music Hall is truly one of Cincinnati's historical gems. This is a great place to see any show. Recently saw Madame Butterfly there and it was fantastic. Soon the street car will run in front for easier access to parking. read more

While I give this five stars, I have to say the music was too good. Tone it down, nerds!

Attended the Pops concert Oct 13 and was very impressed by the renovated Music Hall. Seats were comfy and spacing acceptable. The views and sound were still great, even from our high gallery level seats. Loved the great mix of ages that attended and we had fun conversations with a number of people we met that evening. We did miss the chocolate counter in the lobby from years ago, but we got over it...allowing beverages at seats is nice touch. Tickets purchase on-line and home printing easy and quick. Loved the view of Washington Park from the gallery level windows in the foyer. The John Williams concert was entertaining and fun. Well done Pops and Music Hall...we will be back! read more

honestly, the exterior of this building is its highlight. i wasn't very impressed with its interior. the acoustics were fine, but not exquisite. read more

Last night at CSO Bronfman was tremendous. Brahms was great but Schumann was insanely good. The whole time was very relaxing.

We were sent a notice of dinner for the opening weekend. Everything was great! We were seated in one of the private dining rooms. The atmosphere was energetic and the service was impeccable. They exchanged the light colored linens on the table for dark because we all had dark clothing on. I had never heard of that but it made sense. Everything about the restaurant, service and food was incredible. read more
