Very nice venue with several stage options to perform small to large performances. The grounds are beautiful throughout and kept very clean, the staff was friendly and helpful in making sure you made it to your destination. I think the price to park is outrageous but that's always the case when visiting the downtown area. I'll always return to catch a great performance and can't wait to visit again!

We came to see Beauty and the Beast, and it was a wonderful show! (Lumiere stole the show!) A very clean and beautiful Opera House. My family looks forward to returning (I'm especially anxious to see The Phantom of the Opera - my favorite). My son especially loved the chandelier! We had dinner before the show, it was a lovely intimate setting. The atmosphere was lovely, and the food was as well. We will definitely partake again!

We bought tickets last minute to The Book of Mormon and of course got what we thought were the worst seats in the house. 4th floor (top floor), last row, stage left. Little did we know there isn't a bad seat in the house! The acoustics in this building are amazing!! I never missed a word! As for visibility, again no problem! The way the seats are set and the lighting is done all of the actors look like they are within reach. Best of all......you can bring alcohol (from the bar) to your seats. Lets just say the Book of Mormon was funny, but even better with a glass of wine! The bartenders were friendly and the staff working was so friendly and helpful! I cant wait to pick out another musical to see here!Note to ALL GIRLS: Everyone migrates to the first floor bathroom (where the larger bars are)! If you go to the 4th floor the line is only a few people deep! Before the performance and during the intermission I went to the 4th floor bathroom and was in and out in record time but both times saw a 30 person line for the first floor bathroom. (you laugh now but at that critical moment this is valuable information.....you're welcome)

Watching musicals here is way better than Summer Musical at Fair Park. It's new. It's beautiful. It's safe. It's easy to get to. The acoustics is amazing. Even with the worst seat, you can still see the stage very well with how the architecture is designed. Again, I love watching musicals here. It's just much nicer in every way. I can't wait for The Book of Mormon play to come back. Eeeek. Besides musicals and plays, I came here once for yoga. There's a huge field in the back for outdoor yoga. It's pretty nice and unique. Tips: 1) Parking is pricey. $15 in for the garage. $25 for valet. Park in the street. 2) If your seat is on a higher level, take the master staircase and not the elevator. The line for the elevator might cause you to miss the show, because it's so long and slow.3) Helpful and friendly staff if you have any questions.

I'm so glad Dallas has finally gained such an amazing venue. Beautiful architecture and detail inside and out!I lucked out and had the opportunity to sit so close to the stage that it felt they were performing just for me! The acoustics were rounded wonderfully against the simple design of the theatre. The lighting, stage set up, orchestra and cast were amazing.All staff we spoke with were very friendly and helpful in find our seats. They even treated you to the opportunity to pre-order your intermission cocktails to avoid not waiting in a line. The only thing I wish they would have considered was a different portion of food offerings. I would have been in double heaven had they offered more than candy bars and the like. Truly worth experiencing even through just a tour.

Opened in 2009. Very nice facility in front of and backstage. We attended several performances and always enjoyed the facility and show. In Dec 2017 we took advantage of a Winspear Opera House backstage tour (free) and got a better appreciation for what it takes to put on an opera or Broadway show. The Center is available for rent and host many non-entertainment functions.

I highly recommend checking out the Thursday patio sessions that happen in fall and spring. It's free and family friendly. But they rope off an area in the shade with tables and chairs, and booze for the adults. The band plays by the fountain so it was fun watching little kids and their parents running around in the water. There was quite a game of ping pong going on in front of us too. So yeah, a plastic cup with wine is $7, but you're paying for the ambiance. Highly recommend!

This is a really nice venue to watch a show. We watching the Book of Mormon and sat left stage. Thats on the right side of the auditorium if you're looking at the stage.. The view was great, each seat has its own A/C and they floors are all hard wood. We got to go backstage afterwards because we knew someone in the show and wow was that cool!! I highly recommend watching a show here!

$20 per ticket service charge. $80 to buy four tickets. "Well, you can come downtown and buy in person. But only just before a ATTPAC event...No, not tonight. Saturday." Offensive.
