AT&T Performing Arts Center, Dallas

With hundreds of performances every year, four new venues and a ten-acre urban park, the AT&T Performing Arts Center, opened in 2009, is an exhilarating place to experience music, theatre and dance – hosting Dallas' most accomplished artists and performers as well as premier touring productions from around the world. You can always count on a fun evening here, or book a docent-led, free tour (with general information on each venue) at least 7 days in advance.

The Center provides homes for five resident companies – the Dallas Opera, Dallas Theater Center, Texas Ballet Theater, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, and Ballet Folklorico – in addition to producing original programming that covers a wide range of performances, including music, dance, Broadway shows, concerts and lectures.

The venues itself is very clean, with wonderful sound, comfortable seating, and nice sight lines (unless you are directly to the side). There are a few nice restaurants just a block or two away, too, so it makes a great location for an evening out.
