Grand Ole Opry at Carnegie Hall – Historic Event to Release April 11 on DVD

Nashville, TN (Grand Ole Opry Official Website) - It was truly a celebration of American music at its finest, as New York's venerable Carnegie Hall welcomed the Grand Ole Opry for a sold-out, one-night performance last November 14, in an evening captured in high definition video and soon to be available on DVD as Grand Ole Opry at Carnegie Hall, releasing April 11 on RCA Nashville.

The night was the culmination of the Opry's 80th anniversary festivities, and marked the show's first return to Carnegie Hall in over 40 years. Now preserved on DVD, the 18-song concert event delivers what the Opry does best, honoring country's rich history and dynamic present with its mix of country legends and the contemporary chart-toppers who've followed in their footsteps.

Spotlighting performances from Alan Jackson, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Bill Anderson, Brad Paisley, Charley Pride, Little Jimmy Dickens, Martina McBride, Ricky Skaggs, Trace Adkins, Trisha Yearwood, and Vince Gill, the hit-filled evening of music also honors an Opry tradition with special artist collaborations on selected songs, including a closing medley performed by the entire cast. Fans will also be treated to a DVD bonus featurette, 'The Story of the Opry at Carnegie Hall.'

In advance of the DVD release of the historic evening, Great American Country (GAC) will air the premiere telecast of the concert this Sunday, March 12, at 8 PM ET/PT.
