Emery Theatre

Emery Theatre is a performing arts venue in Over-the-Rhine with an auditorium featuring two balcony levels that accommodate more than 2,200 guests. The hall was designed following acoustic principles to distribute sound evenly throughout the space.

The building opened in 1911 as part of an arts and trade institute. From 1912 to 1936 it served as the home of the local symphony orchestra.

The theater draws performers and audiences interested in classical music, dance, and theatrical productions that shape the cultural life of Cincinnati. Its programming reflects the city's long tradition of supporting live performance and artistic expression.

The venue is easily accessible with entrances suitable for different visitor needs. The theater organization continuously works on improvements to enhance comfort and access for everyone attending shows.

The venue belongs to a rare group of four concert halls designed after the same architectural model. These buildings represent a specific design philosophy found in only a handful of similar structures across North America.
