Shreveport Opera sends our deepest condolences to our colleagues Seattle Opera on the passing of former General Director, Speight Jenkins. "Speight was amongst the most influential administrators in the business with whom I had the pleasure of working during my first year on the staff in Seattle - his retirement year. His presence was immeasurable and his knowledge unsurpassed. The respect he enjoyed in the opera world was well deserved." - Alan E. Hicks, General & Artistic Director, Shreveport Opera

First celebrated on April 25, 1866, in Columbus, MS (hometown of our General & Artistic Director), when local women decorated the graves of Confederate and Union soldiers buried there, "Decoration Day" was later expanded to include fallen service members from all wars and renamed "Memorial Day." In 1968, Congress designated the last Monday in May as a national holiday honoring their sacrifice (which took effect in 1971). It is incumbent upon all of us to consider that their sacrifice allows us to live the lives we live.

Shreveport Opera honors all who fell in the service of our country. We will be closed in observance of Memorial Day and will reopen tomorrow at 9 am.
