Join us for a unique event: The Thinker, an immersive production presented by the Cincinnati Art Museum where performers pop up around the audience, much like a flash mob, as the performance moves into various galleries where the audience is encouraged to follow the narrative.  

A short opera, The Thinker explores the colorful life of French sculptor Auguste Rodin and highlights his humble beginnings, salacious affairs, life-long love for Rose Beuret, and his encounters with iconic contemporaries, including Claude Monet and Henri Matisse. 

Cash bar available.
