Today, generous open spaces intended to attract crowds of nontheatergoers are considered as important as the buildings themselves.
Certainly, the second goal has been realized, and the opera house’s design encourages the first.Īttitudes toward the arts have changed radically since the initial plan for the center respectfully aligned each institution along a single street (Flora). As designed by Foster + Partners, the building reflects the values of Bill Winspear, the Canadian-born entrepreneur who donated $43 million to the approximately $150 million project to share his passion for music with as many people as possible and make sure the hall’s acoustics would be excellent. With a steel-frame canopy stretching well beyond its performance hall, the Winspear Opera House reaches out to other constituents of the AT&T Performing Arts Center.
