A former tabernacle became one of Nashville's defining music rooms at the Ryman Auditorium. Its history includes the Grand Ole Opry years, but the building's appeal continues through a varied live-performance calendar and visitor tours. Choose a concert for the sound of the room in use or a tour for a closer look at its story. Those are distinct experiences with different tickets, so plan around the one you want instead of assuming a daytime visit includes a nighttime show.
