Former Cincinnati Mayor Roxanne Qualls came to Music Hall by herself when she was in high school to attend Friday afternoon CSO concerts. When Cincinnati Opera moved to Music Hall from the Zoo in 1972, she was part of a standing room only crowd in the Gallery to watch Martina Arroyo sing Aida. She has long been committed to preserving Cincinnati’s architectural heritage. She also serves on the Music Hall Revitalization Corporation, which oversaw the restoration of Music Hall in 2016-2017. She is dedicated to ensuring that Music Hall remains the home of our city’s major performing arts organizations.
