The Winspear Opera House is located in the arts district of Downtown Dallas, Texas, and it was built by Foster + Partners and Kendall/Heaton Associates, Inc in 2009. It was designed as a 21st-century reinterpretation of the traditional opera house, the Winspear seats 2,200 in a traditional horseshoe configuration. It is very special to me, because I grew up going to different shows and performances inside this beautiful building for many years. This kind of building made performances feel so incredibly magical, and it transformed the way people could view live entertainment.
