Enchanted Ball ~ Cincinnati Music Hall ~ Home

Enchanted Ball Press Release

During the days of Halloween, as the evenings draw near, the veil between the worlds is lifted. This seeming barrier turns from a nearly impassable web to one you can cross over with ease… but only if your soul is haunted by a pinch of adventure. Be warned though… once you step through this threshold there is no turning back!

For those who would rather not walk this ethereal labyrinth alone, we invite you to immerse yourselves into the best of both worlds with us. Experience our Enchanted Ball, hauntingly housed within the walls of Historical Music Hall, Saturday October 27th.

As you prepare for your twilight journey this season, a few simple guidelines may help you on your way. Throughout the centuries it has been found that your ability to blend with the locals may prove advantageous during encounters with these magical runic creatures. So dress is your eerie best... you may so finely impress them, they elect you King or Queen of the Ball!

Now that you are a part of this fantastical arrangement, let yourself go a bit. The world you know will come back soon enough. Take the time to discover the local customs and taste their exclusive cuisine, converse with statues and dance with shadows, browse the market place for survival supplies or souvenirs, and enjoy music and melodies not likely to be heard anywhere this side of the river Styx!

The Enchanted Ball begins well outside of Music Hall. Attendees and public alike will be lured in by an enormous array of street performance; living statues, fire spinners, contortionists, captivating musicians and other netherworld escapees. Visitors enter and are greeted by a garden of theatrical creatures who crave interaction with their guests. One is then drawn to the stairs ahead which spiral upward towards the grand ballroom. Watch as all the autonomous creatures and characters inside begin to synchronize their activities until they culminate into a fully unbound production at the apex of the event. Watch dreamers dream around you, underworld royalty battle and fly above you, ancient gods multiply in front of you…. The entwined and entangled story keeps the visitor guessing as to who is acting and who is just there for the ride. (More Live Theatrics).

Live Musical Acts are interwoven into this evening affair, ensuring there will be something for all walks of life. Famed local DJ artists will spin to break out your rigor mortis, providing atmospheric melodies which will possess you to waltz, swing, jive and wail! The Night Gallery, even from the shadows, will be host to some of the most transcendent Cincinnati artists around. Not to mention all of the Regional Merchants on hand providing everything from local crafts to a full spread of psychic arts and healing. Don’t forget to stop by the Ballroom Bar for a refreshing swig during your long journey and grab some succulent edibles catered by the wonderful Wild Oats and Main Street Catering.

The Elected King and Queen’s evening won’t stop there. Local Cincinnati businesses have made sure they see and experience the best the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood has to offer by escorting the winners (by means of horse and buggy) on an all expense paid night out on the town for two

But most importantly, we can’t ignore the magnificent beauty and history of Music Hall itself. The founders of Haunted Cincinnati will be in attendance conducting guided tours of rarely seen corners of this fascinating and mysterious building, educating guests on some of the more bizarre and unexplainable occurrences in Music Hall’s past. Followers may even be lucky enough to encounter a true visitor from beyond the veil while lurking through these crooks ... it wouldn’t be the first time.

So in closing, we welcome all of you to join us. The Enchanted Ball is guaranteed to provide you with an extraordinary evening of unearthly entertainment and to inspire a grand appreciation for our local history and our current talents. The entertainment and artistic history of Cincinnati is what crowned this city as Queen. However it is very important not to rest on our past success. Come be a part of a new era in one the oldest crown jewels in the city. We are proud to showcase the thriving arts community of downtown and hope to see a revitalization in our city center once again. Support and have pride in the place you call home. Our city has much to offer… so let it.
