Opera Louisiane

If you're coming to Madama Butterfly on Saturday night, here are some things to know:

1.) While the show starts at 7 p.m., the doors to the River Center Theatre lobby open at 6 p.m. The Zydeco hockey team has a big game right next door, so you'll want to be early for parking. The concessions will be open for you to enjoy before the show.

2.) The River Center Theatre has a clear bag policy. What's permitted? Clear bag (plastic, vinyl or PVC) under 12 in by 12 in by 6 in., OR non-clear bag under 5 in. by 7 in.

3.) There will be two intermissions at 15 minutes each.
