RETURN TO THE
ORPHEUM
Celebrating Carlos Miguel Prieto’s 10th anniversary as the Adelaide Wisdom Benjamin Music Director and Principal Conductor
“
The Orpheum is the LPO’s home. The sound, the intimacy, the tradition, the beauty, the history: all these are great reasons to celebrate. But above all, returning to the Orpheum symbolizes for me a coming home after ten years of heroic rebuilding.

The Orpheum is, in so many ways, classically New Orleans: a beautiful space harkening back to a past era of elegance. It’s impossible to sit in the audience (or on the stage!) and not feel the sense of history that is such an indelible part of New Orleans.
