New
Orleans is a city that is as
renowned for its arts as its
music. The city as a whole
embraces the creativity of its
artists and musicians, creating a
perfect setting for artistry and
inventiveness to thrive. Over the
years, certain sections of the
city have developed into both
breeding grounds for the
up-incoming and showcases for the
established New Orleans artist.
The Warehouse District, primarily
Julia Street, has become a Mecca
for the creative, starving artist.
There are studios and galleries
abound. The lower French Quarter,
primarily Royal Street, is the
home for hundreds of galleries,
antique stores, quaint museums,
and other intriguing
establishments of art. This guide
will give you a look at the best
of New
Orleans Classical Music, Art
Galleries, Film,
Opera
and Cabaret.
For
an elegant night on the town, the
Louisiana Philharmonic offers the
best classical music in New
Orleans. Many classics are also
performed by the renowned Concert
Choir of New Orleans, and if you’re
looking for medieval period
classics performed on authentic
instruments from the period, try
the Musica da Camera. The New
Orleans Opera Association’s
traveling performances are awe
inspiring, so catch them when they’re
in town, or if you’re looking
for a small intimate show, there
is none better than New Orleans
Cabaret.
There
are venues for both original and
commercial film and theater
through out the city. Would you
like a beer with your popcorn? Try
Movie Pitchers. For the true art
lover, New Orleans offers endless
entertainment.
