About Ryman Auditorium, Nashville

Ryman Auditorium is the home of the Grand Ole Opry. It is owned and run by Ryman Hospitality Properties. The auditorium tells an extraordinary story of unparalleled entertainment history. Thomas G. Ryman found redemption in evangelist Reverend Sam Jones. To honour the reverend and his words, Thomas builds a great tabernacle for him.
Thomas Ryman was a river boat captain and businessman and owned several saloons. Architect Hugh Cathcart Thompson designed the building keeping in mind why he was constructing this. The Grand Ole Opry was open for broadcasts from 1943 until 1974. After this the Opry built a larger venue at the Opryland USA theme park. Though the Opry moved, fans still visited the Ryman Auditorium to see the famous stage. Major motion pictures were filmed on location at the auditorium. Visitors find themselves sitting in pews which is a reminder of how it was as a house of worship.
A visit to the Ryman Auditorium will tell you why so many performers were attracted to this place throughout history. It is a well-seasoned hall like an antique instrument, with perfection resonating within. The Ryman’s acoustics are the finest in the world. It is home to all genres of musicians.

Ryman Auditorium, Nashville Reviews
-
It's amazing to walk through this hall and learn all about the history here. We took the guided tour and got to go back stage, which I would highly recommend. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. You can get your picture taken on stage or record a song if you'd like. Would definitely recommend even if you aren't a country fan just to hear the history
-
The Ryman Auditorium is a must see in Nashville! There is no other venue in America that has such rich history and such ongoing interest from musicians of all genres. Playing the Ryman is an honor that professional musicians covet even today. If you love music and music history you must be sure to get the backstage tour. See the stage from the wings, see the dressing rooms and the back stairs, the places where now famous musicians waited before their performances. The spirit of thousands of performers and hundreds of thousands of patrons reside within these walls and you can sense it. Outside walk the alley by the back door and see the ghosts of performers past arriving and departing the greatest theatre and some of their greatest performances. Enjoy a visit to what is a national treasure.
-
I would highly recommend touring the Ryman if you only have a day or two to spend in the city. You will learn about the history of Nashville and more. The building is beautiful and has been wonderfully restored. Don`t worry if you are not a country music fan. I am not- this tour will surprise you. I suggest taking the guided tour because they will take you backstage and into some of the dressing rooms.

The old lady still sounds amazing! Sight lines are not as good as modern venues. Acoustics and the echo of all the great past performances more than make up for visual limitations. We were left awestruck fron the feeling of intimacy with performer. Highly recommend at least one trip to "The Church of Country Music"! Remember non country acts play all the time too!
-
If you like music, or history or better yet both....just go. A true must visit when in Nashville. 🌟 We couldn't get tickets for the back stage tour due to limited slots because of a performance when we visited, but the self guided was more than sufficient. The introductory mini movie is a Disney-ish pleasure, but with southern charm and humor. Once you have the "Ryman basics" down, head in and explore. From the original oak wood pews to the charming stained glass windows, the soul of this place is palpable. Envision all the singers, actors, musicians, preachers and politicians to have graced the stage and you can't help but be moved. The tour provides as much or little detail as you want. My recommendation? Grab a seat, close your eyes and enjoy! If you found this helpful, please like my review! 😊
