The Marigny Opera Ballet is gearing up to present two new contemporary dances that explore themes of time with the sounds of a New Orleans musical icon. Artistic director Diego de Lima and composer Ted Joyner of Generationals give us the details.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and if you live in New Orleans perhaps you’re spending the holiday going to the Fairgrounds Race Course for opening day. But what you might not know is that Louisiana claims some very accomplished jockeys, six of whom have been inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame.
The most recent inductee was Ray Sibille, a jockey originally from the town of Sunset who received the honor over the summer. He joins us for more on his career, riding more than forty two hundred winners over 35 years.
