Orpheum Theater
A Beaux-Arts downtown theater where orchestras, ballet, concerts, and comedy share the room.
CBD
The Orpheum is one of downtown's handsome performance rooms, restored after Katrina and useful for the nights that want acoustics, seats, and a stage with some architectural dignity.
The calendar moves between Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra dates, ballet, touring musicians, comedy, and special events. That range is the reason to check it before a trip rather than assume it belongs to one genre.
It is a cultured evening without the stiffness that phrase usually threatens. Pair it with a CBD dinner and let the building handle the occasion.
