Following the closure of Music Hall this past May for extensive renovations, portraits, statues, artworks, and many other items were moved into storage prior to the early demolition phase of the project. While the theater's most recognizable artifacts will be reincorporated into Music Hall, many other items, including theater and box seats, gilt mirrors, aluminum chairs from Music Hall's ballroom, benches, decorative hardware, poster displays, and lighting fixtures are surplus to the Music Hall project and will be made available to the general public in support of the renovation of this historic Cincinnati landmark.
Other items have found or will find new homes. The SORG Opera House in Middletown (www.sorgoperahouse.org) has already received and installed several hundred of Music Hall's auditorium seats. The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's new Otto M. Budig Theater (under construction down the street from Music Hall at 12th and Elm Streets - www.cincyshakes.com) will display the carved figures of "Comedy and Tragedy" originally salvaged from Cincinnati's National Theater, which in the 1800s showcased America's preeminent Shakespearean actors.
Proceeds from the sale will benefit the Society for the Preservation of Music Hall, a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization founded to preserve, promote, improve, and provide education about Music Hall.
