Dallas Center for the Performing Arts to Open in October 2009The Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, a new multi-venue performing arts center for music, opera, theatre and dance, will open in downtown Dallas in October 2009.
The most significant new performing arts complex to be built since New York City's Lincoln Center, the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts will provide new state-of-the art homes for The Dallas Opera, Dallas Theater Center, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Texas Ballet Theater, Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico and other Dallas-area performing arts organizations.
With new venues designed by Foster + Partners, REX/OMA and SOM, the Center will also produce original programming and present performances by a diverse range of cultural organizations from around the world.
The Center's venues will be woven together by a 10-acre public Performance Park, which will embrace and unify the venues and create a dynamic cultural destination in downtown Dallas.
Designed by landscape architect Michel Desvigne of Paris, the Park is envisioned as one of the most exciting and dramatic new civic spaces in the region.
The first public park in the 68-acre Dallas Arts District, Performance Park will include mature trees, multiple lawns with natural gardens, a reflecting pool, promenades and walkways.
