Rebecca Todd
New Orleans Film Festival- Opening Night at the Orpheum
Opera, ballet, classical music and theater have found grateful audiences in the Paris of America since it was a French colony. The curtain went up on the first documented opera in New Orleans in 1796 and on the first ballet in 1799. Our theater history is rich as well. Le Petit Theatre off Jackson Square was founded in 1916. There are ghosts in that theater who know the lines to every show.
New Orleans is a city of grand theaters and historic concert halls, as well as impressive museums with programs designed to enrich and entertain.
