Opera finds a 21st-century home in the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House. This is one of four venues in the AT&T Performing Arts Center, located in the Arts District of downtown Dallas, Texas. Designed as a 21st-century reinterpretation of the traditional opera house, the Winspear holds 2,200 seated patrons, with a capacity of 2,300, arranged in a traditional horseshoe configuration.
It is the home of The Dallas Opera — which until the 2008/2009 season performed at the Music Hall at Fair Park — and the Texas Ballet Theater. The AT&T Performing Arts Center also produces original programming and partners with local and national organizations to present a wide range of cultural performances: music, dance, Broadway shows, concerts and lectures. Within the Winspear you will also find the Nancy Hamon Education and Recital Hall, a flexible space seating up to 200 for smaller performances, classes, rehearsals, meetings and events.
Groundbreaking for the AT&T Performing Arts Center and Winspear Opera House was held in October 2006, and the venue was designed by Foster and Partners with principal architect Spencer de Grey. Your tour could continue inside the Nancy Hamon Education and Recital Hall, a flexible space seating up to 200 nearby.
