There is no better place to explore and experience live performing arts than the AT&T Performing Arts Center in the Dallas Arts District. On its vibrant 10-acre downtown campus, the nonprofit Center operates three of the nation's finest performance venues: the Winspear Opera House, Wyly Theatre, Strauss Square and the welcoming public green space, Sammons Park. The Center invites you to explore by the best in live theatre, opera, pop, ballet, comedy, cutting-edge speakers and the finest dance companies from across the globe. The Center's stages are a launching pad for world premieres and an incubator for the city's emerging arts groups. And this is where you can see the award-winning work of its five resident companies: Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, The Dallas Opera, Dallas Theater Center and Texas Ballet Theater.
