The new Winspear Opera House in Dallas redefines the essence of an opera house for the twenty first century, breaking down barriers to make opera more accessible for a wider audience. Responding to the Dallas climate, a generous solar canopy extends from the building, revealing below a fully glazed sixty foot high lobby. Beneath the canopy, a shaded pedestrian plaza creates a major new public space for Dallas. Around the Opera House itself there is the Annette Strauss Artists' Square, an outdoor performance space for an audience of 5000 and a smaller outdoor performance space with a café terrace.
