Built as a tabernacle in 1892, the Ryman hosted history-making performances and pop culture moments long before it became home to the Grand Ole Opry from 1943 to 1974. It was where country stars – like Patsy Cline and The Carter Sisters – were made and bluegrass was born. But Ryman Auditorium is not just a country music venue. Icons like Elvis Presley, Harry Styles, and Lizzo have taken this world-renowned stage.
