Grand Ole Opry background
America’s Grand Ole Opry House, Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium and The Bluebird Cafe have a long history. The Grand Ole Opry is not a place but it is a show.
In 1974, the Opry made its last broadcast from Ryman before moving to its new venue, The Grand Ole Opry House at Opryland.
In 2004, the Opry House surpassed the Ryman as the Opry’s most enduring home and reopened September 28, 2010. Most of the time these shows are held at the Opry House which is part of the Gaylord complex in Northeast Nashville.
The Opry still has shows at the Ryman Auditorium downtown. The Ryman was the historical long-standing home of the Opry. The Ryman Auditorium is located downtown, just off Broadway at 116 5th Ave N, in Nashville.
Hosted by reigning ACM® Entertainer of the Year and 15-time ACM Award winner Keith Urban, the 55th ACM Awards will be broadcast on Wednesday, Sept. 16 (live 8:00-11:00 PM ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network, and will stream live and on demand on CBS All Access.
