From Avenue A to Broadway: Songs and Stories of Tin Pan Alley

July 17 @ 8pm

Music Hall's Wilks Studio

Tickets


At the turn of the 20th century, an unassuming Manhattan neighborhood was quickly becoming the vibrant epicenter of American popular music. Tin Pan Alley gave voice to a community of diverse composers, lyricists, and performers, mingling the traditions of Yiddish theater with Western classical music, ragtime, and jazz to shape the soundtrack of an era. Cincinnati Opera features Queen City Cabaret’s Sarah Folsom and Matthew Umphreys along with special guests to shine a spotlight on the artists whose resilience, innovation, and spirit of collaboration spurred the golden age of American popular song.



(Note: Cabaret tables will be seated with 4 persons per table)

Fiddler on the Roof

July 23, 25, 26 @ 7:30pm

July 27 @ 3pm

Music Hall's Springer Auditorium

Tickets


If you’re looking for one of the most celebrated and beloved musicals of all time, we’ve got your “perfect match.” Tevye, a poor milkman, lives with his wife Golde, and their five daughters. He wants what all parents want for their children: a better life. One after the other, Tevye’s daughters stray from tradition. They risk their futures with husbands of their own choice, doing that pesky thing people do called following their hearts. Winner of nine Tony Awards including Best Musical, Fiddler on the Roof features timeless songs like “Matchmaker,” “Sunrise, Sunset,” “If I Were a Rich Man,” and a universal story of family, love, and tradition.


Music by Jerry Bock

Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick

Book by Joseph Stein

Community Support

John Arthur Flats

John Arthur Flats is the first LGBTQ+ friendly 55+ senior affordable housing development in Cincinnati. It contains 57 studio, 1- and 2-bedroom apartments affordable to seniors ranging from 30% AMI to 60% AMI. This 3-story elevator served building is in an ideal walkable location with easy access to the Northside business district, McKie Recreation Center and many other nearby amenities.


For many LGBTQ older adults, the social stigma they’ve experienced and the added stress of dealing with decades of discrimination can put them at greater risk of physical and mental illnesses, experiencing higher rates of poverty and suffering higher rates of housing discrimination. Innovative housing solutions like John Arthur Flats respond to this need, providing a safe and welcoming environment for seniors to age in place in community. All are welcome to apply!
