Editorial Review for Ryman Auditorium – by Craig Shelburne

In Short
Built in 1892, Ryman Auditorium has hosted countless visionaries, including Enrico Caruso, John Philip Sousa, Sarah Bernhardt and Charlie Chaplin. But the Ryman will forever be known as the mother church of country music. When the Grand Ole Opry settled into this brick tabernacle in the heart of downtown in 1943, the Ryman instantly became the stage where every country star wanted to perform. In the summer, don't miss the amazing bluegrass shows.

The Ryman Auditorium not is one of the most recognized historical buildings in Nashville, it was the first stadium seating that existed here. There is no bad seat in this "once a church" auditorium.

Pros: ambiance, history, acoustics

Cons: church pew seats, some limited viewing, downtown
