I hope you have been able to see a live show, recital or art exhibition now that things are reopening, post-pandemic. This week, Friends of Music Hall, the volunteer support organization for Music Hall, is announcing that they will resume in-person tours of the 1878 venue on July 9.

Designed by legendary architect Samuel Hannaford, the spectacular hall was the envy of countless cities in the 19th century. Today it’s the cornerstone of the 21st-century renaissance of Cincinnati’s cultural heart in historic Over-the-Rhine.

Also, outside tours of Music Hall’s remarkable Victorian High Gothic exterior are regularly offered at 4 p.m. on Thursdays and at 10 a.m. Saturdays.
