Cincinnati Opera Pride Night 2026

About Cincinnati Opera Pride Night 2026

Cincinnati Opera Pride Night 2026 makes Pride a night at the opera on Saturday, June 20, at the historic Music Hall in Over-the-Rhine. Built around the company's summer staging of Richard Strauss' Salome, with a 7:30 p.m. curtain, this is a chic, arts-forward entry on the Cincinnati Pride calendar that pairs world-class opera with a Pride Night celebration afterward. The evening centers on the performance in Springer Auditorium, followed by a Pride Night Celebration around 9:30 p.m. in the Wilks Studio, where ticketholders gather for drinks, music, and community in one of the most beautiful venues in the city. Cincinnati Opera is the second-oldest opera company in the country, and Music Hall is a Gothic Revival landmark, so the setting alone is worth the trip. It is a more elegant, grown-up way to spend a Pride evening, ideal for a date night or anyone who wants culture with their celebration. You can buy a ticket to both the opera and the party, or the celebration on its own. Music Hall is at 1243 Elm Street in Over-the-Rhine, right on the Cincinnati Bell Connector streetcar line and near Washington Park, with garage parking nearby. Celebration-only tickets typically run around 40 dollars, with full performance tickets priced separately, so book ahead through Cincinnati Opera. Dress to impress if you like, arrive early to enjoy the hall, and toast Pride in grand style. For a sophisticated change of pace from the festivals and bar parties, Cincinnati Opera Pride Night is a memorable Cincinnati Pride 2026 evening.
