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

Cincinnati, OH
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. |
