I saw my first opera, and my cousin Robby was in it!What a magical place! I had an incredible time, and never wanted it to end!I was given a backstage tour and met some really wonderful people who took the time to smile and welcome me and talk!My cousin describes it as a whole family, one that cares deeply for each other and the gift theyre sharing with the audience!Theres a lady usher who helped me find my seat, as I am visually impaired. What .a sweet soul with a positive energy and attitude, and an infectious smile! I really like her, especially as she remembered me to my cousin and asked after me.And, the opera house itself is so beautiful! The chandeliers add to the ethereal elegance of the theatre!The orchestra painted the emotions of the story over the backdrop, drawing me in, and then those voices! The singers so eloquently expressed layer upon layer, character after character, protagonist and antagonist!Thank you for making that whole evening a special event that I will cherish always!

Went her to see the musical Chicago. It was beautiful inside. The place is huge. Got the opportunity to have seats in the box seat section. View was incredible. The chandelier that hides into the ceiling was so unique. Had a blast. The performance was exquisite.

Gorgeous venue for the many acts that make their way through! We’ve been for a few shows over the years, and not once have we left with anything other than glowing smiles and feeling wholly satisfied with the experience— start to finish. The acoustics are phenomenal; the seating is amazing; the accommodations are second-to-none. Will definitely return for the right performance, and would absolutely recommend for anyone and everyone!

Its a 1st Class, Five-star facility and everyone that works there makes it that way. Ive been in the live concert production business for 30 years and its not just the facility that so top notch, but the employees, that make it extra special.

Such a beautiful theater. Ive been here twice and have really enjoyed this venue. Just saw The Color Purple here and had great seats. We had a fabulous view from the 1st crown in the Dress Circle. Cant wait for the next play to come into town.

Took my 3rd grade students on a field trip there and they loved it! The chandelier is something out of this world.

Ive been to two shows here, each time the employees were extremely helpful and courteous. Good seating options, although Ive only had box seats so take with a grain of salt. I do with the chairs were a little more plush however.The acoustics are very good, easy to hear everything on stage. They have a cool chandelier that recesses to the ceiling before the shows start.Very easy to get in and out of the parking garage, they have it pretty organized. Once parked, very quick escalator ride almost to the front door.

This opera house is so truly beautiful. The tickets aren’t that expensive and neither are their season tickets. I heavily suggest you take the time to invest in the theater arts and stop by the Winspear.The stage door is to the right side of the building. You’ll see a car on display and a staircase leading to the back of the building. Climb the stairs and then descend. You’ll see a door and that’s the stage door. Sometimes cast members come out - sometimes they don’t. It’s still a handy thing to know.

The sound quality is always good. Even if you have tickets at the very top, you can still easily see the stage.Maybe.Thats the chandelier at the Winspear. It retracts into the Ceiling.

Love attending shows at the Winspear! Always enjoyable. The staff is friendly and helpful. Not a bad seat in the house. The variety of programming is excellent! My wife and I have enjoyed the convenience of purchasing parking, dinner and the shows as a package. Couldnt be any easier and worry free. Already looking forward to our next show!

Always enjoy going to this venue. Love the elegance and positive energy that flows throughout. The staff is always so kind and helpful. This is a great place to have an intimate setting with my role models and icons. Definitely would go back for future events.

Took my sister to see the Shen Yen performance and this place is lovely. Wonderful show and had a great seat.

Great venue. Very stylish and the ushers were helpful to everyone. They serve drinks and snacks in two places in the lobby.

My young Rudolphs had a great time. This stage presentation keeps getting better ( every year a new family tradition keep going guys)Winspear is one of my most favorite ventures. One can go to a show have a great time and never go out side oops I did go down an escalator to the underground garage. There were also elevators. The staff is great. We had several special requests which were filled seamlessly. This is another gem in Dallas’ crown.

This was my first time at the theater. If your going to go there for an event. Go early enough to NOT have to walk in after the show has started. Have some respect for others. It is a nice theater but only paid public parking of anywhere from $10-25 so plan for that also. You are Go in to have to walk a block or a few blocks depending where you park. Not lots of food choices in the theater with snacks lime candy is $6 and a small coffee from a dispenser at $3

Beautiful facility! The most helpful, kindest staff! Absolutely love and will be back!!! Affordable and even the cheaper parking was AWESOME. Preshow dinner was fabulous and pretty inexpensive. I recommend purchasing online from the at&t performing arts website.

We saw the Color Purple here a week ago and wow! So gorgeous inside and out and all around. I was worried about our seating being too far up and away( chose the cheapest seats) and well...the view turned out to be PERFECT!! We were in the Grand Tier,center...that design piece you see in the picture,it projects from the ceiling and we were nearly eye level to it. Beautiful.The staff was super nice. Just an overall unforgettable experience.

Upscale Opera house in the Arts district of Dallas. Came here for Carmen and La Boheme, both fantastically performed. The accompanying orchestra is exceptional! Even the lobby area consists of multiple aesthetically pleasing levels. Id recommend formal attire.

Saw A Bronx Tale! First time there and so very thrilled! Beautiful and comfortable, even for a big guy. Drinks were available at a premium, but nothing I didnt expect... love this place

LOVE this theater! Even though we had box seats it didnt look like there was a bad seat in the house! The new disposable cocktail containers are awesome & can be enjoyed while the play is going on!You wont be disappointed if youre interested in theater entertainment!

We saw the Carole King musical. Fantastic show and the theater is absolutely gorgeous! It was nice being able to take your glass of wine into the show, too. Get the parking pass if you go. Valet parking was easy and helpful.

Beautiful venue and the staff is amazing! We were there for a girls night out to see comedian Eddie B whos platform is for teachers only. Great show and atmosphere.

State of the art sound and in-house production equipment. Staff is Very nice and cordial. Seats are comfortable and great view of the stage wherever you sit in the auditorium. Parking is plentiful and its overall view of the Winspear from the outside is very eye pleasingly modern.

This is a lovely place. Seating is great! The lobby is so nice!! Its easy to see everything on the stage and the sound system is great!! The employees there are very professional and extremely helpful!!! The outside grounds are beautiful. I hope to go there again soon!!

Great venue for performing arts. Beautiful and great place to have a date night. Backdrops are fantastic for pictures. The night time also is stunning when its all lit up. Helpful staff. Parking is easy cheaper if you dont mind a short walk. Snacks drinks and full bar. #letsguide

Beautiful venue. Not a bad seat in the house. It is NOT well marked! We werent sure we were at the Winspear Opera House and got asked by another person. I would definitely go to another event there in the future.

It is a nice building. Colors are unusual. Chairs well placed & comfortable. Temperature was pleasant before performance. About 20 minutes after doors closed & performance started, the temperature dropped at least 10°. I froze through balance of performance.

Beautiful artistic venue. The staff was older people and they were all kind, friendly and knowledgeable. Nice to see retirees working with the public and having exceptional social skills. The musical was excellent ! But parking was $17.00. YIKES !

This is a beautiful venue! The views through the entire glass front are stunning. The opera production was top rate and sound quality was great. Be aware there are lots of steps and few elevators. The cheap seats are very high up, steep, uncomfortable and so close together. Its fine if its your only way to see the opera, but I recommend making the investment for better seats. It also didnt feel like there were near enough restrooms. But overall, I highly recommend everyone to go to an opera or other performance here!

The venue is very well built. The acoustics are spectacular and the services within the building are great. The location is very central to downtown and the parking is extremely convenient and priced very fair. There were no photos allowed of the interior event are and all and Im not sure what supports that policy but its not a reason to not return. Ill be back if in the Dallas area again.

Great venue and wonderful acoustics. We saw Blue man group and it was a fun and energetic show. Will definitely look for other shows at this venue.

Saw THE COLOR PURPLE! LOVED IT!! I had a box seat. It was just the way I wanted it. Nice seats, a table to sit my purse & I didnt have to move to allow others to come & go. And I didnt have to disturb others if I had to get up for any reason.

This is a beautiful venue and the staff is wonderful. I saw the Carol King musical Beautiful here. Buyer beware, if you are afraid of heights dont purchase tickets higher than the second balcony tier. Its terrifying if you are any higher because there is hardly any gradient to the seating. Its like a sheer drop down which makes the balcony seating closer to the stage but its not worth it if you are acrophobic. I couldnt use my 3rd tier front row seat. The Winspear House staff was so kind and gracious and found an unoccupied seat for me on a lower level.

Went to the Blue Man Group. Very good show. As far as the place its self. Wonderful, wish every place I went to see shows was that nice from the moment I entered the building, to when I left was a great experience. Love the seating.

A beautiful and well designed Opera House. Every seat has a good view of the stage and the acoustics are so good I could hear the dancers feet over the orchestra during a ballet performance. I would definitely recommend attending a performance here.

Seats may have been 4th level, but had a great view for The Bands Visit musical. Parking was also a breeze to get in and out of.

The Blue Men Group was very entertaining. Its hard to explain how they they entertain both mind and body. Great show.

This beautiful venue is a focal point of the Dallas Arts District. The exterior boasts an interesting water courtyard and breathtaking views of the surrounding Dallas skyline and Klyde Warren Park. Its easy to spend time exploring the surroundings in this walkable urban environment prior to the show. Head inside before the show to enjoy concessions on the first and fourth floor. You can purchase drinks or snacks, including water, coffee, juices, and popcorn. Beverages are permitted inside the house to enjoy during the show. There doesnt seem to be a bad seat in the entire venue! Even the top balconies allow for unobstructed views. The seats are comfortable enough to enjoy a 3.5-hour opera. Everyone is friendly and professional, and the ushers help quickly find your seat. Enjoy the show!

Great venue!! Went and saw Jim Breuer here and had a blast. The venue itself is beautiful, well laid out and not to hard to get to. It was raining the night of the event and all of the walking area from garage to the entryway was covered which was nice. Diner at the on location restaurant before the show was great too. Highly recommend.

The upper floors are scary. Unless you love heights. The walls arent high enough to keep you from falling. Also parking is ridiculous and expensive. All surrounding streets are blocked from parking on purpose. So you have to pay to park. 17.00 self and 27.00 valet at the red garage. Otherwise facilities are nice. Staff is nice.

I went to see The Color Purple. Such a phenomenal experience. I do not want to ruin an amazing experience for you by giving away the magic. Go. You will have a magical time!!!

The show was excellent and the people who assisted with seating and bar patrons were knowledgeable and pleasant. Plus the Lexus preferred parking was a very nice compliment!! Two Thumbs Up....

I have always had a good experience at the Winspear. We have always set in the highest level, and we have never been disappointed. We just saw The Bands Visit and it was very entertaining.

My children and I went to an Ilvolo concert at this location and everyone was very helpful and attentive. Made my birthday celebration very memorable. The place was perfectly neat and clean!

Not a bad seat in the house! Acoustics are great. If only they had a better concession selection Id give it 5 stars

We opted to buy the dinner before the performance and were hifhly disappointed. No fish or pasta for those who are non meat eaters or vegetarians. For $25, my guest (who does not eat meat), had cooked carrots, roasted potatoes and a salad. Really? Its 2020. Lets expand menus to accommodate all.

Excellent venue for plays but the acoustics are not great. Skip the brunch when going to a matinee. While convenient, food quality was sub-par. Parking is convenient, especially if you are driving a Lexus, but $17 for self parking.

The Shen Yun performance was Magnificent and unforgettable. Its was done so Masterfully. Anyone who sees it will take a deep dive culturally to understand the Asian History (past, present & future) with greater appreciation. Simply Phenomenal

I absolutely love this opera house, and it is definitely my favorite one to go to. Super nice and clean. The parking is fantastic and the employees treat you with care and kindness.In the heart of Dallas, the architecture of this place is absolutely stunning and makes for a wonderful experience whenever youre visiting.Definitely recommend!

Do not sit in the balcony (nose bleed). I felt light headed up there it was so high up. Def worth the cost for better seats now that I know what cheap gets you. The opera house is pretty but I wasn’t wowed by architecture or anything. Nothing especially special. Kind of a small stage, might’ve just been the angle lol

Beautiful setting for a play. The opera house is gorgeous. Seats are a little small, but we were able to spread out since the Tuesday show wasnt full.

The Magic Flute was a wonderful performance; amazing costumes and props, good acoustics, and of course vocal talent. Really amazing production in a beautiful setting!There were some traffic flow issues getting into Lexus Red parking that could have been more efficient, so I recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early by car if you’re self-parking.We sat on the 5th level “Grand Tier” near the door for easy access to bathrooms, but since you don’t really get up until intermission, I recommend getting seats closer to the center to prevent neck strain and have a better viewing angle. That being said, I have to comment on the comfort of the seats on this level. They’re a tad tight, completely upright, and the armrests do not extend far enough to sufficiently provide support to the forearm. I’m not certain at which level the seats improve, but I would upgrade if you would find these factors frustrating for a 3-hour duration.The last downside was the sad fact that we saw so many empty seats on all levels. I understand opera isn’t a rock concert, but the quality of this production was too good to be missed out on. Would like to see better attendance.

I love the seating arrangement. It gives you a feeling of closeness to the show. And someone is always close to answer questions.

Attended the great Lila Downs. Great acoustics at Winspear. Easy parking and staff to direct you to your seat.

Went to an opera here last night. As usual we had a great time. Weve seen musicals, concerts and many other events over the years. Good acoustics and good sight views from every seat weve been in. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Underground parking garage is very convenient.

Had a great experience watching Once on This Island with my mom as her Christmas gift! Such a lovely and stunning venue!

A beautiful venue with awesome staff. There is not a bad seat here unless you are seeing a show that is meant to be more in a more intimate setting. I will be returning for many, many shows!

Beautiful! Comfortable seats and plenty of leg room!!! The staff was welcoming and very knowledgeable. Hopefully our DMS season tickets will have more Plays here in the future!

Love this place! An amazing place to see a show! Feels super intimate and sound is always phenomenal!

Gorgeous venue and friendly/professional/helpful staff!

Always such a wonderful experience. Chairs were comfortable, and the ushers were very friendly. I cant wait to go back

Seats are comfortable especially compared to other venues. We were in the front row on the first balcony and I swear the height of the railing is not up to code. It is scary low and I am not afraid of heights.

Nice opera house designed by lord Norman Foster. Acoustics and visuals are really good even if your are on the top of the house. The thing I missed was a shop at the opera house and that the staircase seems insufficient to move al the people in the theater. It took us about 15 minutes to get to the foyer because that night the house was full. The informative talk before the opera is really interesting and helps you get a context of what you are going to listen.

It was beautiful. All the seating had a great view of the stage. The employees were very nice.

There acoustics of this is fantastic allowing you to hear the nuances of different pieces. The challenge is that the acoustics are so good that someone eating potato chips you can hear the crinkle as they reach into the bag better than the music.Kudos to the staff who took care of noise maker during the intermission of shen yun this weekend. When spending over$600 for tickets, expectations are high.As such- the coffee shop leaves a bit to be desired as one person was trying to keep up...

Great venue. Good sound quality. Comfortable seats with good visability.

Ive seen a couple performances of ShenYun hereas well as a play. Very nice experience each time. The ushers are extremely helpful and the facility itself is very nice. The seats are about the same as in other venues in terms of size and comfort although Ive not spring for the expensive seats. Last time I did the valet parking which was quite expensive, but I did it because my mother is not able to walk far. The treated us like royalty and even treated my ancient beat up car with respect.

I chaperoned a trip with my school. Our opera was fantastic (Doctor Miracle). The students always love the chandelier. All of the workers are so friendly and helpful.

Beautiful inside and out!

Wonderful experience as always. If you like the musical arts this is a clean and wonderful place to enjoy it. I went for the matinee Opera and was extremely pleased. Great beverage selection and streamlined preordering helps as well!

Great venue all good seats the acoustics are awesome. Comfortable seating. Staff was pleasant and helpful as well as organized.

Tap Dogs was fun. I brought the whole family.

I brought my daughter here last night to see The Nutcracker and it was a great night! They had a great little assortment of nutcrackers you could purchase. I have never been here before and so I didn’t know what to expect so our seats were a bit too close for my comfort. You could see the beautiful details and extremely hard work that goes into the costumes but this show is best suited seated a bit further away to really appreciate the art of ballet and the wonderful storyline to this fantastic show. The house is gorgeous and it makes for a very, fancy night out and a great way to start the Christmas holiday!

The Color Purple play was excellent! Great acting as well as singing. The Opera house was very clean and the staff was the best.

I love this venue, saw A Bronx Tale. Fair Park is just too large!

Beautiful venue. Ample parking. Could use more options for dining. First time I was ever served wine in a sippy cup

Great venue. Even the dress circle seats were good. Great sound system!

Liked the show, especially the live orchestra. That was the best part. The stories were okay. I didnt understand some of them.

I love the Winspear! Ive seen several Broadway plays there. Its a first class venue.

Always enjoy the Winspear! Not a bad seat in the house.

One of the best opera experiences Ive ever had. The seating, lighting, stage position and the decorations, everything has a flair of elegance that makes you have feeling of luxury.

La Boheme was beyond beautiful. I was in awe of the scenery and the venue was gorgeous!

Love winspear. love Dallas opera. where else would you hear a one bar riff of deep in the heart of Texas during The Magic Flute. tickets and parking paid ahead online. lots of fabulous volunteers.

This is such stunning, gorgeous concert hall. Dallas is lucky to have it.

Beautiful theater with excellent acoustics. The staff was friendly and helpful. Good accessibility.

First time visit. Beautiful theatre. Reminded me of the Kennedy Center in Washington DC.

Beautiful place, not a bad seat in the house. Went to watch my cousin perform and he informed me that they are nor micd, the acoustics are amazing. Now the customer service could use a reboot.

Went to see The Bands Visit the other night there, and Winspear was a very comfortable, very nice, open theater. I would love to see another show there.

Beautiful lobby. Beautiful theater. The box seats provide an amazing experience.

The Grinch was fantastic. Gorgeous scenery. Very festive.

Beautiful theater! I was so impressed with the layout of the balconies. Not a bad seat in the house. Im so glad we went there! The raising of the lights before the show was fun to watch. The staff was very friendly and inviting. The seats were roomy, clean, and comfortable. Beautiful venue.

Great theater. Well run. Short bathroom lines. Good customer service.

Been here several time, such a great venue. Not a bad seat in the house! The acoustics are wonderful and the building looks super cool imo

Beautiful theater. I went there to watch the Shen Yun show. Theres motion picture backdrop on the stage thats incredible. Music sound effects is amazing. Everything looks new here.

Easy parking, but not free like the Fair Park Music Hall. If weather is bad, would be well worth it. Traffic in and out was much better.

Great concert venue. We saw the fantastic Tony Bennet there and it was great. The acoustics if Winspear are good enough to let us hear Tony when he sang unplugged. And with him at age 92, thats a big deal for both him and the venue.

The most intimate setting EVER. Went to see Phatom of the Opera and Kenny G. What an amazing time. Strong drinks was just right. Nice place to visit if new to Texas or a perfect date for those living in Texas.

The people here are very friendly. Always clean. Very nice.

Beautiful venue! Enjoyed Jeanne Robertson comedy tonight!

Seating is close and the row I was on was one long row, so everytime someone wanted to pass you have to get up, regardless of if it was in the middle of the musical or not.
