I gave the CSO 5/5, but I avoid this summer group like a plague. If you can attend one of their free shows, then go for it. The music choices and show choices turn me off completely.
We love the Cincinnati Pops. Always a quality, fun show. John Morris Russel clearly loves conducting and the musicians are amazingly talented
Quite possibly the best pops show I've ever attended!! Tickets? Start at around $15 and the top balcony has incredible sound. There is a repeat performance next Sunday, 11/11/12. All the popular Bond movie songs, video screen showing old film pics, posters, live musicians and soloist, you are surrounded by the experience, including the actual Aston Martin car on stage!
We attended the show "Superheros!". I had cheap tickets (25 dollars), but the view was still ok. The conductor was funny and kept us entertained throughout the show. They payed a variety of super hero music. They serve drinks before and during the show. The staff was friendly and showed you exactly where you were sitting. I would like to attend another show.
We love the Pops, & have never, ever seen a show that wasn't wonderful.
The conductor is so enthusiastic, & usually the guests are top-notch. This is a great part of living in Cincinnati.
