Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Ryman Auditorium is a 2,362-seat live performance venue located at 116 Fifth Avenue North in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S., and is best-known as the one-time home of the Grand Ole Opry. It was previously known as Grand Old Opry House and also as Union Gospel Tabernacle. The auditorium first opened as the Union Gospel Tabernacle in 1892. It was built by Thomas Ryman (1843 1904), a riverboat captain and Nashville businessman who owned several saloons. Ryman conceived of the auditorium as a tabernacle for the influential revivalist Sam Jones. After Ryman's death, the Tabernacle was renamed Ryman Auditorium in his honor. The Ryman was also the home of Trevecca Nazarene University from 1911 to 1914. It was used for Grand Ole Opry broadcasts from 1943 until 1974, when the Opry built a larger venue just outside Nashville at the Opryland USA theme park. The Ryman then sat mostly vacant and fell into disrepair until 1992 when Emmylou Harris andher band, the Nash Ramblers, performed a series of concerts there (the results of which appeared on her album At the Ryman).
