Cincinnati celebrated the reopening of Music Hall and its $143 million in renovations this past weekend.

After being closed for a year and a half to undergo renovations, the 139-year-old building in Over-the-Rhine debuted its new look to the public Saturday with festivities that included more than 50 live performances that were free to the community.

Music Hall is the home of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Pops, Cincinnati Opera, Cincinnati Ballet and Cincinnati May Festival.
