Ryman Theater – One of Nashville’s Gems

The Ryman Auditorium is often called the Ryman Theater. Without regard for the name, the venue is one of the most historic theaters in the US. It is found in Nashville Tennessee. The Ryman Auditorium was first opened as the Union Gospel church in 1892. It was assembled by a person named Thomas Ryman who was a businessman in Nashville at the time.

From 1943 to 1974 the Ryman Theater was the home of the Grand Ole Opry. After 1974 the locale sat lifeless for many years. In the early 1990′s country singer, Emmylou Harris, help to kick start the re-building of the theater with a series of concerts at the venue.

In 2001 the Ryman Auditorium was designated a state historical Landmark lots of the most famous acts in the world have performed at the Ryman Theater. The acts are not just limited to country music also. Some high profile performers over the last couple of years include Bruce Springsteen, the Black Crowes, Norah Jones, Ryan Adams and Kings of Leon. Neil Young filmed his picture titled Heart of Gold at the Ryman Auditorium.

The venue is widely known for some of the best acoustics in the country. Many patrons insist that there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The Ryman Theater is open for tours each day of the week. You can actually stand on stage and pretend that you are a rising star.

Tickets for the Ryman frequently sell out in seconds due to the fact that many artists that would fill bigger venues decide to play here instead of somewhere with a bigger capacity. The capacity of the Ryman is only 2362 seats.
