The Dallas Center for the Performing Arts holds topping out ceremony for the Winspear Opera House
Winspear Opera House Top Off
The Dallas Center for Performing Arts hosted a celebration Thursday for the official "topping out" of the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House. The final beam of the Winspear Opera House dons signatures of those involved in the construction of the building, as well as Texas and US flags. A healthy crowd gathered on the 15th floor of the One Arts Plaza building to sip mimosas and enjoy a fantastic view of the Dallas Arts District. After the mingling and meet and greets, the audience listened to speeches about the Winspear Opera House from notables such as Mayor Tom Leppert and key players with the Dallas Center for Performing Arts. Finally, after a few kind words about the Winspear's and how lucky Dallas is to be gaining such a great artistic and architectural gift, the beam was set into place. The Winspear Opera House is scheduled to open in 2009.
