Home to world class symphony, opera, and ballet companies, and art museums that blend the historic (Taft, Cincinnati Museum) with contemporary exhibitions at the CAC and our many independent galleries in OTR and Brighton, the Queen City knows its art. For stage buffs, two-time Tony winning Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park in Mt. Adams and Ensemble and Know Theatres in Over-the-Rhine debut contemporary and original pieces of work, while cutting edge theatre (Fringe) and music (Midpoint) festivals round out the arts calendar.
