The paper calculates the fields surrounding and the power radiated by a slowly rotating neutron star with a frozen-in magnetic dipole field, tilted with respect to the rotation axis, including the effects of spacetime curvature. The general relativistic effects suppress the radiated power relative to flat space by factors up to 1/7 for magnetic dipole radiation and 1/50 for the associated electric quadrupole radiation. This suppression exceeds that which might be expected from a surface red shift alone. Numerical results are found using power series which describe the behavior of electromagnetic fields exterior to a black hole or slowly rotating neutron star.
