THE GRAND OLE OPRY HOUSE: As audiences to the live show increased, National Life
& Accident Insurance's radio venue became too small to accommodate the hordes of
fans. They built a larger studio, but it was still not large enough. After several months of
no audiences, National Life decided to allow the Opry to move outside its home offices.
The Opry moved, in October, 1934, into then-suburban Hillsboro Theatre (now the
Belcourt), and then on June 13, 1936, to the Dixie Tabernacle in East Nashville.
The Opry then moved to the War Memorial Auditorium, a downtown venue adjacent to the
State Capitol. A 25-cent admission was charged in an effort to curb the large crowds, but
to no avail. On June 5, 1943, the Opry moved to the Ryman Auditorium.
The Ryman was home to the Opry until March 16, 1974, when the show moved to the
4,400-seat Grand Ole Opry House, located nine miles east of downtown Nashville on a
new site that was part of the Opryland USA theme park. While the theme park was closed
in 1997 and replaced by the Opry Mills mall, the Opry House itself was left intact and
incorporated into the new facility.
PBS televised the program live from 1978 to 1981. In 1985, The Nashville Network began
airing a half-hour version of the program as Grand Ole Opry Live; the show moved to
Country Music Television in 2001 (expanding to an hour in the process), and then to
Great American Country in 2003. GAC put the live hour TV show on Saturday nights on
hiatus in 2009 [4] but it continues on WSM.
Currently the Opry plays several times a week at the Grand Ole Opry House except for
an annual winter run at the Ryman Auditorium.
