Performance Venues
From 1957 to 2009 the Dallas Opera performed in the historic Music Hall at Fair Park. The Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House, one venue of the AT&T Performing Arts Center, became the opera's new home for the inaugural 2009-2010 Season, which includes the world premiere of Moby-Dick by composer Jake Heggie. Musical Director Graeme Jenkins believes that the new venue will prove an engine of growth for the company, and predicts that, within five years, it will be operating on a par with the Lyric Opera of Chicago and San Francisco Opera.

Famous quotes containing the word performance:
“The way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall.... The scales of sophistication are struck from your eyes and you see in the circus a gathering of men and women who are able to do things as a matter of course which you couldn’t do if your life depended on it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
