A few visit notes

Parking options include underground, on-site, valet, and self-parking during performance times — Lexus Red sits beneath the Winspear Opera House and Lexus Silver beneath Moody Performance Hall, both accessed from Jack Evans Street. By DART, take the Red or Blue line to Pearl/Arts District station; the campus is three blocks north and one block east. No dress code — wear whatever complements the occasion.
