BOSTON -- A new music venue in Boston opened Monday. A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the MGM Music Hall at Fenway took place in the afternoon. 

The new 5,000-seat hall is at the intersection of Lansdowne and Ipswich streets across the street from Fenway Park.

"It's a state of the arts home created thanks to a terrific effort by a group of people who are determined to create the finest experience to see and hear the future of music in a historic location next to Fenway Park," said Red Sox owner John Henry. 

The first official show does not take place until next weekend when Godsmack will play a benefit concert for the Scars Foundation and Dana Farber. 

Other upcoming shows include James Taylor, Chris Stapleton, and Bruno Mars.
