The transition between the plaza and foyer and the concert hall enhances the theatricality of the performance – in effect, "moving the theater to the auditorium".
The Dallas Opera Company is known for its excellence and innovation in lyrical theater, and this is reflected in its new location in the Dallas Arts District. The design of the project presents a reflection on the traditional theatrical experience, and the design aims to ask the question: What is the essence of the opera house in the 21st century? The architect's ambition was not only to play an important role in Dallas' cultural life, but also to become a destination for non-opera audiences in its own right, with the theater's interior coffee, restaurants, and bookstores making it an all-weather venue.

The design of the opera house follows the firm's masterplan for the entire Dallas Arts District, whose buildings were designed by three other Pritzker Prize-winning winners, Rem Koolhaas, I.M. Pei and Renzo Piano, and provide venues for everything from the visual and performing arts to outdoor festivals and concerts, youth education programs, and more. The new buildings are distributed along the "green backbone" of Flora Street. The Winspear Opera House itself overlooks the outdoor performance space of Annette Strauss Artists' Square and provides a natural focal point for the entire neighborhood.

Structurally, the Winspear Opera House reverts the traditional hierarchical structure of the opera house and instead creates a series of welcoming spaces that surround the red drum face of the concert hall. The concert hall is horseshoe-shaped, ideal for opera performances and can accommodate up to 2,200 people. The acoustics of the concert hall were specifically designed for opera and musical theatre, but the stage was flexible enough to accommodate ballet and other forms of dance performances. The building is transparent from the façade, with a glass façade side that reveals the hall, upper foyer and grand staircase. The transition from the plaza and foyer to the concert hall enhances the theatricality of the performance – in effect, "moving the theater to the auditorium".
