About Orpheum Theater - New Orleans

Orpheum Theater - New Orleans opened in 1918 as a vaudeville house on the Orpheum Circuit and has long been one of the city's treasured performance spaces. The theater was severely damaged by flooding during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, sat shuttered for years, and reopened in 2015 after a multi-million-dollar restoration. Privately owned and operated following that restoration, the venue sits at 129 Roosevelt Way in the Central Business District and has a capacity of approximately 1,500.

The Orpheum hosts orchestral and classical concerts, touring concerts across genres, comedy shows, private events, galas, and special performances. It is the home of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, and its 2015 reopening was regarded as a landmark moment in New Orleans' post-Katrina cultural recovery. Since reopening, it has welcomed the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra's concert season along with touring musicians, comedians, and special events.

The theater is celebrated for its elaborate terra-cotta façade, decorative plasterwork, vertically stacked auditorium, and renowned acoustics.
