Arneson River Theater is an outdoor performance theater located in the San Antonio River Walk in the U.S. state of Texas.
The open-air venue was erected 1939-1941 by the Works Progress Administration. The design was supervised by architect Robert H.H. Hugman. It is named after Edwin Arneson, the regional engineer for the W.P.A. who was instrumental in securing funding for the Paseo del Rio. Arneson died before construction began. Many years later bells were added to arches behind the stage that Hugman had designed, and they were named for him. In a belated ceremony, the Father of the River Walk struck the bells for the first time, two years before his death.
The stage is on the north side of river; the audience sits on the grass-covered steps on the south side, which can hold over 800 people on 13 rows of seats. A nearby stone bridge is often made part of the performance space. It is now called Rosita's Bridge in honor of Rosita Fernandez, a pioneer of Tejano music, who performed here as star of the summer-long Fiesta Noche del Rio for almost 25 years. Nowadays the theater is used for folkloric groups, music concerts, plays, dance, and even opera.

Rosita's Bridge On The San Antonio River Walk At The Arneson River Theater
Rosita's Bridge over the San Antonio River in Texas honors Mexican-American Rosita Fernández (1919-2006), who had a long and distinguished career as a popular singer and actress.
She was named San Antonio's First Lady of Song by Lady Bird Johnson, and was known for performing Tejano songs in shows, on radio and on TV. She moved to San Antonio at the age of nine.
In 1932, Rosita became the star of a radio program on WOAI in San Antonio, and in 1933 recorded jingles for several radio commercials. In 1949, she performed on the first broadcast on WOAI television, and later became a regular on several shows.
Her movie credits include Sancho, The Homing Steer, a 1963 Disney made for TV movie. She also had roles in The Alamo with John Wayne in 1960, in Three Hundred Miles for Stephanie, and Seguin.
Beginning in the 1950s, Fernandez performed in the annual summer show Fiesta Noche del Rio at the Arneson River Theater on the San Antonio River. She also was a featured performer each spring at the A Night in Old San Antonio event at San Antonio's Fiesta celebration.
Rosita ended her singing career in 1982. Rosita's Bridge crossing the San Antonio River at the Arneson River Theater was named after her in that year.

from 2000 to 2010, and the second from 1990 to 2000.[6][7] The city straddles South Texas and Central Texas and is on the southwestern corner of an urban megaregion known as the Texas Triangle.
San Antonio serves as the seat of Bexar County. Recent annexations[8] have extended the city's boundaries into Medina County and, though for only a very tiny area near the city of Garden Ridge, into Comal County.[9] Since San Antonio was founded during the Spanish Colonial Era, it has a church (San Fernando Cathedral) in its center, along with a main civic plaza accompanying it in front, a characteristic which is also found in some other Spanish-founded cities, towns, and villages in Spain and Latin America. Due to its placement, the city has characteristics of other western urban centers in which there are sparsely populated areas and a low density rate outside of the city limits. San Antonio is the center of the San Antonio–New Braunfels Metropolitan Statistical Area. Commonly referred to as Greater San Antonio, the metropolitan area has a population of 2,454,061 based on the 2017 US Census estimate, making it the 24th-largest metropolitan area in the United States and third-largest in the state of Texas. Growth along the Interstate 35 and Interstate 10 corridors to the north, west and east make it likely that the metropolitan area will continue to expand.
San Antonio was named for Saint Anthony of Padua, whose feast day is on June 13, by a 1691 Spanish expedition in the area. The city contains five 18th-century Spanish frontier missions, including The Alamo and San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, which together were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.[10] Other notable attractions include the River Walk, the Tower of the Americas, SeaWorld, the Alamo Bowl, and Marriage Island. Commercial entertainment includes Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Morgan's Wonderland amusement parks, and according to the San Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau, the city is visited by about 32 million tourists a year. The city is home to the five-time NBA champion San Antonio Spurs and hosts the annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, one of the largest such events in the country.The Alamo Mission in San Antonio (the Alamo), located in Downtown, is Texas' top tourist attraction.

Yaxeni y Ricardo Feliz Matrimonio y El Texanito a SU Estilo!!
Queremos Darle Las Gracias A Ricardo Barrera Por Facilitarnos Este Video Yo Tome Videos Pero Por Estar Transmitiendo en Vivo No Grabe Bien Los Demas, Este video salio muy Bonito. Se Los Compartimos Con Mucho Cariño!!!In the competitive world of Norteño” music, one could present them as just one more group in this genre, but there is a difference in these individuals, they are a couple of child prodigies who were born in Houston, Texas and who in a short time have become celebrities
“We have one hundred percent Mexican blood and proudly follow such customs and traditions like norteño music , say the children. Their dad explains how their name came about, the word “luz” means light so they are Luzeros with Z because they are the light of his family and de Rioverde” because he was born in the city of the same name in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosí. Their artistic qualities and abilities were ignited at the young age of eight for Yaxeni and four years old for Ricardo when they saw their father interpreting “Norteño music in public. It is then they decided to study and learn, Yaxeni on the accordion with the help of her mother's hand and Ricardo with the bass that he could barely hold.
Their discipline in learning paid off and after uploading a video to social networks that went viral, invitations to participate in various events began. They uploaded more videos to youtube and continued to cause a sensation for their natural born talent.
With so much success in social networks, their dad decided to record an album at the end of 2015, titled Recordar es Vivir” and with other Norteño” songs of yesteryear, the Luzeros de Rioverde” were known.
It is in 2016 that the Garmex Music label was interested in promoting them and thus marked the beginning of their career in the major leagues of music with the recording of their second album where the hit El Descendiente was released, with an intention of moral support to the millions of Mexican immigrants who live in the United States.
of Garmex Music in the promotion and dissemination of their songs, Los Luzeros de Rioverde begin a new phase of internationalization by performing in the most important television programs such as Despierta América, Un Nuevo Día, Sal y Pimienta and a special invitation from Don Francisco to participate in the broadcast of Siempre niños, among other television programs such as Telemundo, Univisión, CNN, etcetera ...
Television, radio and social networks allowed the rapidly growing career of Los Luzeros de Rioverde and they were invited in January 2017 to the Grandes Chicos program in Colombia. Their generosity was evident when they also participated in the Seminary of St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where the media representatives were surprised by the talent of these young artists.
At their young age they have already participated in events in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Miami, and among many other cities. They first traveled to Mexico to participate in the 400 year celebration of the founding of Rioverde, San Luis Potosí and due to the tremendous success they were asked to come back again to perform at the traditional city fair.
Yaxeni and Ricardo combine their time with school and music classes because they want to perfect themselves at the events to which they are invited to. They are currently giving the final touches to their third album with Garmex Music, which will be titled Con sentimiento y amor, where for the first time, they will interpret some songs entirely in English.
They are “Los Luzeros de Rioverde
