The Cincinnati Opera performs in Music Hall, center, located in Over-the-Rhine, a part of downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. Over-the-Rhine is one of the largest National Historic Districts in the United States, treasured for its massive collection of 19th century Italianate structures.

The architecture of the neighborhood is more reminiscent of Europe-influenced northeastern cities, such as Baltimore and Philadelphia, than of other Midwestern neighborhoods. Its name comes from its builders, German immigrants.
