History
The Orpheum Theater is a nearly century-old Beaux Arts theater in the heart of New Orleans' Central Business District. Built in 1918, the iconic space - which is one of the few remaining vertical hall designs in the US - has hosted vaudeville acts, silent films, movies, corporate meetings, weddings and countless concerts. More than a stunning historical structure, this reimagined space brings an entirely new tier of entertainment and private event space to New Orleans.
Specialties
The Orpheum easily transforms from an intimate concert venue to corporate meeting and convention space with perfect sight lines from each of its seats, which range in number from 1500 to 1800 thanks to a customizable floor-seating plan. Three levels of seating private VIP boxes at the gallery level and six bars round out the audience space, while six luxe green rooms and a full-service kitchen are available behind the scenes. The theater's orchestra floor can be tailored to accommodate each individual client; whether an intimate seated dinner, elegant wedding reception, corporate meeting or large conference.
