Building Blocks
2/19

There's more to enjoy than phonetic irony when a sculptor named James Carpenter speaks during the Dallas Architecture Forum's art, architecture and engineering lecture at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Dallas Museum of Art's Horchow Auditorium, 1717 N. Harwood St. Admission is free to DAF members, $5 for students, $10 for DMA members and $15 for others. Call 214-740-0644. --Mary Monigold

Venetian Binds
2/21

We don't remember Italy's green, white and red banner being one of those Six Flags Over Texas. But somehow The Dallas Opera shows Italian roots with Masquerade 2004: Carnevale di Venezia, where the Westin City Center, 650 N. Pearl St., will be transformed into Venice. With the $300 ticket price comes cuisine, cappuccino and commedia d'el arte from 6:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Saturday. Call 214-443-1063. --Mary Monigold
