The Creole French Connection: A Celebration of Our Shared Heritage

The Creole Heritage Center at Northwestern State University is thrilled to bring back the New Orleans-based group Opera Créole for a concert of opera scenes, arias, and Créole folk songs that celebrate the Créole-French connection. The concert will be held in Magale Recital Hall on the campus of Northwestern State University.

Tickets are $20, but those under age 18 and NSU students (with current NSU ID) are free.
