Since its glittering 1957 inaugural concert with the legendary Maria Callas, the Dallas Opera has made a national and international name for itself by discovering new world-class talents and enhancing the careers of important artists, directors and designers.
\nThe Dallas Opera opened with an unforgettable performance by legendary Greek soprano Maria Callas in November of 1957. Subsequently, the Dallas Opera has presented many international stars in their American debuts, including Dame Joan Sutherland, Montserrat Caball\u00e9, Jon Vickers and Pl\u00e1cido Domingo, as well as designer\/director Franco Zeffirelli.<\/p>\n

\"WinspearTDO recommends children under the age of 6 do not attend main stage opera performances. Most operas are over 2-1\/2 hours, and it is quite frequent that the 1st act of an opera can be over 1 hour. It is a long time to sit quietly. Even the best-behaved children (and sometimes adults) have trouble sitting through an entire performance.<\/p>\n

TDO has a No Late Seating Policy (Family Performances excluded). If you arrive late to a performance, you will not be able to take to your seat until the next intermission. This policy also covers patrons who leave during the performance. If for some reason your child needs to leave the performance, you will not be able to return until the intermission.<\/p>\n

Everyone, regardless of age, who attends a performance of the Dallas Opera must purchase a ticket to the performance. Children will not be permitted into the performance hall without a ticket (even if they plan to sit on your lap).<\/p>\n

TDO does offer Student Tickets starting 90 minutes prior to every performance. Student tickets are $25 and $50 best -available tickets and can only be purchased the day of the performance at the box office in the Winspear Opera House.<\/p>\n
