RiverBend Music Center - Cincinnati, OH

The primary site of this area’s musical mania every year, this outdoor amphitheatre seats 16,000 between lawn and covered pavilion seating. Located on the banks of the Ohio River, just 10 minutes from The Weller Haus, you will find that every musical act eventually performs here. A favorite—Jimmy Buffet—because Ohio is where Buffet coined the phrase “Parrotheads” for his concert go-ers and these Ohioans are proud of that fact!
Past performers include Tim McGraw, Dave Mathews Band, Kiss, Toby Keith, and Melissa Etheridge to name a few. Be prepared if you’re attending a spring concert—rescheduling occurs due to the overflowing banks of the Ohio River from the spring rains!

The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra is a dynamic ensemble of some of the world’s finest musicians. The fifth oldest symphony orchestra in the United States and the oldest orchestra in Ohio, the CSO has played a leading role in the cultural life of Greater Cincinnati and the Midwest since its founding in 1895. The CSO was the first orchestra to be broadcast to a national radio audience in 1921. From its first performance at Carnegie Hall in 1917 and through another 44 performances at Carnegie, the orchestra continues to commission new works and to program an impressive array of music.

The Cincinnati Opera
- The Corbett Center, Cincinnati Music Hall

On June 27, 1920, The Cincinnati Opera began as the second oldest opera company in the United States with a sold-out performance of Martha. For over fifty years, they performed at the Cincinnati Zoo in a band shell. In 1972, The Opera moved to its present venue, Music Hall, a 3,417-seat theater listed as a National Historic Landmark. Now in a new venue within the Music Hall (The Corbet Center), the opera is setting itself up to stage more frequent and elaborate productions. Generally sold out to capacity, you will want to plan early to attend their performances.
