About Grand Ole Opry

The Grand Ole Opry is a live country music show that began as a radio broadcast on WSM in 1925. Since 1974 it has played at the 4,000-seat Grand Ole Opry House, where a six-foot circle of oak cut from the Ryman Auditorium stage is set into center stage, and most performers still stand on it. Each show features several artists in one night. Backstage tours take you through the dressing rooms and onto the stage, and there is a merchandise shop on site.
