Cincinnati Music Hall is a beautiful building outside and inside. The acoustics are wonderful. My Family loves go there to see the shows and Cincinnati Symphony Pop's Orchestra.
I am an opera fan and I saw a few operas here. The acoustics are wonderful. The building obviously has a lot of history. If you plan on attending a show be sure to get there early to find parking spot, and don't leave your valuables in the car.

Great sound in this hall with phenomenal history and its own ghosts. Home of Cincinnati symphony orchestra. Concerts with major international performers.
My wife, friends and I attended the Cincinnati Pops holiday concert. Music Hall is beautiful and the music was wonderful. All area residents should go at least once in their lifetimes.
A beautiful building, accessible with that formal feeling of being somewhere special. Everyone should visit. I recommend the first balcony in the front rows but be careful of obstructed views (the supporting columns that can block your view so you have to lean over toward your neighbor to see around). The floor is a problem if people arrive late and are permitted in during the performace. There are sometimes performances in the foyer and meet-and-greets before or after. I have been many times and hope to visit many more.
If asked to choose the gem of Cincinnati, I would most certainly select Music Hall in Over-the-Rhine. Even before entering this magnificent building, you are able to appreciate the beauty of its facade, with its looming red brick towers and tasteful glass windows. Immediately upon entering, though, the grandeur is astounding. The age of the hall becomes apparent with its lavish balconies, chandeliers, and various artworks. In the auditorium area itself, it is difficult to focus on the performance rather than the beautifully domed ceiling. The chairs, antique velvet, only add to the timeless mood of the hall. The appearance of Music Hall is only one aspect of its brilliance. Rather than decay with age and face imminent vacancy, Music Hall is home to a plethora of events. The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Pops, Cincinnati Ballet, Cincinnati Opera, and May Festival Chorus all use this hall to perform. Having attended numerous concerts myself at this venue, I can safely say that it is a perfect location for both somber Wagner operas and lively Beethoven symphonies. This is not only a place for high-culture events, though. Children, teenagers, adults, and seniors can find something to enjoy. The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra has a program under the name of Lollipops, where they perform shortened concerts that can introduce such young audiences to the arts gracefully. I myself have helped at one of these concerts, showing young children how to properly hold a violin; the experience is wonderful. If a prospective attendee desired something a bit more casual, though, the summertime offers a major event that is dazzling. The ballet, CSO, and Pops all join forces to present Luminosity, an outdoor concert that has a spellbinding light show on the facade of music hall. Whether a native Cincinnatian or a tourist, Music Hall is a staple among the places to visit in the Queen City. Housing both casual and formal events, it is a place where anyone can feel comfortable and at home.
When visiting Cincinnati be sure to take in Music Hall. It is a beautiful piece of history. The architecture is exquisite. If you are lucky enough to attend a performance, you won't be disappointed...the acoustics are first class!
I LOVE Music Hall. It's old, but classic. The architecture and chandlier alone are worth the admission price. The acoustics are wonderful and CSO is wonderful. If you get a chance to visit, do it! A true Cincinnati icon!
Disappointed in this very inappropriate and, and in my opinion, a very poor program that was not up to the usual standards for this annual concert. Would not attend this concert again.
