Opera Man, Hello

That the Dallas Opera is offering something for free should be incentive enough, when the free event comes packed with performances, discussions, and "lively" panels (instead of, I guess, wall panels or dead panels, which can't be much fun), it's a no brainer. The Dallas Opera welcomes its patrons back...

That the Dallas Opera is offering something for free should be incentive enough, when the free event comes packed with performances, discussions, and "lively" panels (instead of, I guess, wall panels or dead panels, which can't be much fun), it's a no brainer. The Dallas Opera welcomes its patrons back with a Season Preview Day Sunday at the AT&T Performing Arts Center. The day will host a list of events including a lecture on Verdi's Rigoletto, salon discussions about Don Giovanni and Anna Bolena, a performance by Aaron Blake and more. If you have any local museum membership, you'll also be able to purchase tickets onsite with a 10% discount. Quite a deal, especially since the Dallas Opera already makes tickets affordable for everyone from the affluent to the tightly budgeted ramen-friendly arts fanatics. The Dallas Opera's "Dangerous Desires" season will open on Oct. 22. Visit dallasopera.org for more info.
