Nightlife: The Performing Arts Frommer

The Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, 2301 Flora St. at North Pearl (tel. 214/871-4000; www.dallassymphony.com), is home to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, a very respectable outfit led by maestro Andrew Litton. The I. M. Pei-designed auditorium is equipped with excellent acoustics and a spectacular pipe organ. Tickets to events are as little as $15, and free concerts are occasionally held. (Free tours are available on selected days at 1 pm; call in advance for schedule.) The Dallas Opera performs at Campbell Center #1, 8350 N. Central Expressway (tel. 214/443-1043; www.dallasopera.org). The Dallas Theater Center, Kalita Humphreys Theater, 3636 Turtle Creek Blvd. (tel. 214/526-8210; www.dallastheatercenter.org), is a little gem, the only professional working theater built by the famed American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and the best place for theater in the Dallas area. Local and touring productions, some fairly adventurous by Dallas standards (like Angels in America), are on the card here. Less traditional theater is performed by the acclaimed Kitchen Dog Theater Company, 3120 McKinney Ave. (tel. 214/953-1055). Of interest to families may be the shows put on by the Dallas Children's Theater, 2215 Cedar Springs (tel. 214/978-0110; www.dct.org).
