OperaCreole salutes the Battle Of New Orleans' heroic Free Men of Color Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at 7 PM, Four Points by Sheraton French Quarter

The Battle of New Orleans

Givonna Joseph writes: 

As New Orleans Celebrates the Bicentennial of the Battle of New Orleans, members of OperaCréole return to the site of the French Opera House in New Orleans to sing and raise a glass to the heroic Creole battalions of free men of color who were instrumental in winning the battle in 1815.

We will begin with a patriotic salute, then include some operatic selections, art songs, and a litle fun.

Thank you!!!  I discovered that two of the free men in the 1st battalion have one of my ancestral names: Auguste. I am researching them, of course!
