The use of bi-symmetric wide beam optics, together with a linear spread lens, achieve an even wall washing effect.
The top of the drum is illuminated with WE-EF FLB461 floodlights equipped with 150 W CMH ED17 lamps. The vibrant red glow of the central ‘drum’ distinguishes the Winspear as a focal point in the Dallas Arts District. While it maintains the traditional horseshoe shape, the brilliant color and transparency are new takes on a classic form. The opera house balances drama with sustainability and friendliness. Designed by Foster + Partners, the Winspear is one of four showcase venues by master architects at the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas.
The Winspear Opera House, home to the Dallas Opera and the Texas Ballet Theater, is hoping to transform the rarified status of opera. Although few people attend the opera, many are familiar with the buildings that house the art itself. As such, creating an opera house is an attractive project for architects and designers. It must seat a large number of people but still maintain intimacy it must balance grandeur and accessibility, but it must also be both acoustically and aesthetically sound.
A typical opera house, if there is such a thing, is full of contradictions and demands.
