The horseshoe-shaped opera house has about 2200 seats and features gold leaf covered balconies. The Glass facade at the Winspear Opera House
The opera house is named for the late Margot and Bill Winspear, who were devoted supporters of the opera art form and The Dallas Opera. The opera house has acoustics specifically tailored to Opera and Musical Theatre performances. Designed by British architect Spencer De Grey, the design features a beautiful glass facade that wraps around the main building. Named for patrons Margot and Bill Winspear, the Winspear Opera House is a modern interpretation of a traditional opera house. Checking out the restaurants and art in the Arts District is always one of my favorite things to do in Dallas! We parked at the Winspear Opera House and crossed the street for some sake and sushi at Musumé, I loved that they had some vegan sushi! We then walked back across the street to The Dallas Opera. When the weather is nice there are food trucks at Kylde Warren Park that I like to stop at but it was chilly and there were some nice restaurants in downtown Dallas that I have been wanting to try. With the Dallas Museum of Arts, Nasher Sculpture Center and Crow Collection of Asian Art, the Arts District is the place to be for culture lovers. We started our ‘Date Night’ evening in the Arts District. Like always we ran into some traffic driving into Dallas but nothing too bad. I had previously been to the Elevator Project located in the AT&T Performing Arts Center to see a performance by a Dallas-based Indique Dance Company group but had never been inside the main Opera House and was pretty excited about our evening. Pre-Opera Talk and Supertitles make Opera more accessible.
