Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra announced on Thursday that soprano Reneé Fleming will join Jaap van Zweden and the orchestra for next year's AT&T gala. This black tie event, which will be held on Saturday, September 28th, 2013, is the DSO's largest single fundraising event and typically features a big name guest performer. World-famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma performed at the 2012 gala.
Reneé Fleming is a three-time Grammy winner who was named the 2012 Female Singer of the Year by the German Echo awards. No word yet on what this diva will belt out on stage at the Meyerson next fall.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
