New Orleans Opera Cancels

New Orleans Opera has canceled its fall productions. “The warehouse where the company stores its sets is likely under water. The condition of the Mahalia Jackson Theatre of the Performing Arts, where it performs, is unknown.” There may be more far-reaching effects: “New Orleans Opera is one of the foremost rents of scenery and costumes in the country. They’re having to warn people all over the country that they may not be able to meet the contract.”
