The Circle remains unbroken.
After 95 years The Grand Ole Opry continued to have a weekly show throughout COVID even when everything else was shutting down. It has been one of the best things about all this. The Opry has seen massive success with their weekly live stream of each performance earning some of the biggest viewing audiences each week.
And now they will once again have a crowd for the fantastic performances. The October 2nd Opry presentation will celebrate the Grand Ole Opry’s 95th birthday, and October 2nd will also recognize Dierks Bentley’s 15th Anniversary as a Grand Ole Opry member. 500 attendees will be allowed to socially distance throughout the 4,372-capacity Grand Ole Opry House.
“With gratitude to the artists who have visited the Opry since March, staff members and partners who have ensured the Opry went on every Saturday, and a worldwide audience for tuning in over the past six months, we are so excited as we plan to welcome fans back to the Opry House,” says Dan Rogers, Opry vice president and executive producer. “So many loyal fans make plans early to be a part of our birthday weekend every year, and I am especially excited that many of those devoted familiar faces will be in the first in-house audience since late last winter. Of course we will only be truly happy when we can return to capacity audiences and full Opry shows that are known around the world.”
