About Us
The Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, a new multi-venue Center for music, opera, theater and dance will open in 2009, completing the 25-year dream of the Dallas Arts District. The most significant performing arts complex to be built since Lincoln Center in New York, the Center will provide multi-state-of-the-art facilities woven together by an urban park covering more than ten acres to create a dynamic cultural destination that is unparalleled in the world.
The Dallas Center for the Performing Arts will create new landmarks on the Dallas skyline, with stunning buildings designed by some of the world's greatest architects:
• The Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House brings the design of the grandest opera halls in Europe into the 21st century, with a transparent, welcoming space that will become a focal point of the Dallas Arts District.
• One of the world's most innovative theatres, the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre will be an unprecedented, "stacked," vertically constructed venue that completely rethinks the traditional form of theatre.
• The new Annette Strauss Artist Square will be home to the city's greatest outdoor performing arts productions.
• The City Performance Hall will provide main stage production space for many of Dallas’ smaller performing arts organizations.
• The new ten-acre Performance Park will surround the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, creating an oasis for visitors.
• Two underground parking structures will accommodate more than 850 vehicles.
