Favorite Son Concert: Operatic Tenor Arnold Rawls and Friends

The Assembly Church in West Monroe will host a triumphant homecoming concert of one of the Twin Cities’ favorite sons, tenor Arnold Rawls. Arnold has in the past few years sung some of his signature heroic roles at the most prestigious opera venue, the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, as well as opera centers in Europe, Australia, and the Far East. Added voices will come from the choirs of Arnold’s alma maters of West Monroe High School and the University of Louisiana at Monroe. Admission for the concert is free of charge, but because of limited seat availability, a ticket must be reserved to come to the event. Tickets are available at Fiesta Nutrition Center and online. There is a $10 suggested donation for the concert, and all proceeds will go toward the Louisiana Opera’s production expenses this coming season as well as the Northeast Louisiana Arts Council, co-sponsor of this event. The Assembly will provide free childcare for children under five years old.
