Winspear Opera House Venue Information
The Winspear Opera House, opened in 2009, is a cornerstone of the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas, Texas. Its Margaret McDermott Performance Hall features a traditional horseshoe configuration with 2,200 seats, designed for optimal sightlines and acoustics tailored to opera, musical theater, and dance performances. The venue’s iconic red glass facade, known as the Annette and Harold Simmons Signature Glass Facade, ascends 60 feet, blending seamlessly with the surrounding Sammons Park. A 318-rod Moody Foundation Chandelier, accompanied by a custom composition by Philip Glass, enhances the pre-performance ambiance.
Beyond the main performance hall, the Winspear includes the Nancy Hamon Education and Recital Hall, a 200-seat space for intimate performances, classes, and events. The venue is committed to accessibility, offering assistive listening devices, sign language interpretation, open captioning, and sensory-inclusive aids. Patrons can access underground parking in the Lexus Red and Silver lots, with valet and accessible parking available. The Winspear’s Prothro Lobby and Box Circle Landing provide elegant spaces for special events, while dining options like Skyline Terrace and nearby Flora Cantina enhance the experience.
Winspear Opera House Seating Chart
Winspear Opera House Seating Options
The Winspear Opera House offers a variety of seating options across five levels in the Margaret McDermott Performance Hall, each providing unique views and price points. Below is a detailed breakdown of the seating levels and options available.
Reserved Seating
All performances at the Winspear feature reserved seating, ensuring patrons have assigned seats based on their ticket purchase. Reserved seating allows for a tailored experience, with options ranging from close-up orchestra seats to budget-friendly balcony choices. Subscribers and group buyers can secure seats together by contacting Patron Services at 214-443-1000 or [email protected].
Orchestra Level
The Orchestra Level, the ground floor closest to the stage, offers the most immersive experience with excellent views and acoustics.
Sections 1-2 (Center Orchestra)
These central sections provide the best unobstructed views of the stage, ideal for opera, ballet, and theater performances.
Sections 3-8 (Orchestra Right and Left)
Located on the sides, these seats offer slightly angled views but remain close to the action. Row E in Orchestra Right and Left is particularly desirable, as it features extra legroom due to its proximity to auditorium entrance points, akin to an airplane’s emergency exit row.
Terrace Sections
Elevated rows along the sides of the main floor, angled toward the stage, provide good views at a lower price point. These are excellent for those seeking a balance between proximity and affordability.
Grand Tier
The Grand Tier, accessible via the fifth and sixth floors, offers elevated seating with a broad view of the stage. These seats are ideal for patrons who prefer a higher vantage point while still feeling close to the performance. The Grand Tier is slightly more intimate than higher levels, with clear sightlines and good acoustics. However, opera-goers should note that supertitles (English translations projected above the stage) are fully visible from most seats but may be slightly obstructed in the furthest rows.
Dress Circle
Located above the Grand Tier, the Dress Circle provides a higher perspective, making it less intimate but still offering excellent views, especially in the center sections. This level is further from the stage, so binoculars or opera glasses are recommended for detailed viewing. The Dress Circle is a good mid-range option for those seeking quality views at a moderate price.
Mezzanine
The Mezzanine provides decent views, particularly in the center sections of rows A and B, where supertitles are fully visible. Rows D and E may have obstructed supertitle views, so these are less ideal for opera performances. The center rows (A and B) have 58 consecutive seats, so arriving early is recommended to avoid squeezing past other patrons.
Balcony (Side Rows AA, BB, YY, ZZ)
These seats are closer to the stage but require leaning slightly to see past the low balcony rail, which may be uncomfortable for some. Patrons with a fear of heights should avoid edge seats due to the low railings (under 2 feet) and the venue’s height. Despite the distance (up to 120 feet from the stage), these seats are cost-effective for newcomers or budget-conscious attendees, and binoculars can enhance the experience.
VIP Packages
VIP packages are available for select performances, offering premium seating, exclusive access, and additional perks. These may include:
- Access to the PNC Members Lounge for patrons at specific membership levels.
- Priority seating in prime Orchestra or Grand Tier sections.
- Pre-show or intermission receptions in the Prothro Lobby or Box Circle Landing.
- Valet parking or reserved parking in the Lexus Red Garage. VIP packages vary by event, so check the AT&T Performing Arts Center website or contact the box office at 214-880-0202 for details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Parking Included in the Ticket?
Yes, the Winspear Opera House offers plenty of on-site parking options, though parking is not included in the ticket price. The Lexus Red Parking lot, located beneath the Winspear, and the Lexus Silver Parking lot, beneath the nearby Moody Performance Hall, are accessible via Jack Evans Street. Valet and accessible parking are also available. Pre-purchasing parking with your ticket is recommended to secure a spot, especially for high-demand performances. Additional nearby lots, such as Hall Arts Garage and One Arts Plaza, provide over 3,000 spaces within walking distance.
Where Are the Best Seats at Winspear Opera House?
The best seats depend on your preferences and the type of performance. For the most immersive experience, center Orchestra seats (Sections 1-2) offer unparalleled views and acoustics, ideal for opera, ballet, and theater. Row E in Orchestra Right and Left provides extra legroom. For a balance of view and value, center Grand Tier or Mezzanine seats (rows A-B) are excellent, with clear sightlines and full supertitle visibility for opera. Avoid Balcony side rows (AA, BB, YY, ZZ) if you’re sensitive to heights or prefer unobstructed views, as leaning may be required. Binoculars are recommended for Dress Circle and Balcony seats to enhance detail.
Are There Any Age Restrictions?
Everyone, regardless of age, must have a ticket to enter the Winspear Opera House. Children under 4 are generally not admitted unless the performance is explicitly family-friendly, as noted in the event description. Disruptive patrons, including noisy children, may be asked to leave to ensure an enjoyable experience for all.
