WRR Extends Broadcast Coverage for Arts Festivities

A season of firsts with The Dallas Opera

Overture • october 2009

there’s never been a grand opening like the one planned for the Dallas opera (tDo). the 53-year-old opera company finally gets a new home in the Margot and bill Winspear opera house already affectionately called the Winspear at the At&t Performing Arts Center. october 15 is a special evening of opera and ballet. legendary mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves and baritone thomas hampson along with international contemporary ballet choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and his company, Morphoses, will

premiere a specially commissioned work set to music provided by the Dallas opera orchestra and Chorus, under the direction of Graeme Jenkins. WRR will be there for live reports on the evening’s festivities.

the Dallas opera’s first fully staged opera in the Winspear opera house opens Friday october 23 with Verdi’s classic Otello. WRR will give you front row seats with a live broadcast from the Winspear opera house. you’ll certainly not want to miss this historic radio broadcast.

the season continues with Mozart’s touching romantic comedy, Così Fan Tutte in February 2010, followed by Gaetano Donizetti’s wry and sophisticated domestic comedy, Don Pasquale. opening in late April, it’s the thrilling world premiere of Moby-Dick, a new opera by Jake heggie and Gene Scheer. the season closes in May with Giacomo Puccini’s beautiful, heartbreaking Madame Butterfly.

this season promises unbridled passion, obsession, gut-wrenching betrayal, romance, comedy, and—of course—plenty of drama. there truly is something for everyone!

the Dallas opera offers a wide range of ticket possibilities to accommodate every schedule and budget. Season subscriptions for all five operas are available, starting at just $75. tDo also offers FleX subscriptions, allowing patrons to select three productions, instead of committing to all five. the new Five-Performance Weekend Series allows patrons to see two operas in one weekend. Patrons can purchase single tickets for any performance—and they can do it today!

After 25 years of planning, the vision for the Dallas Arts District comes to life in october. tune to 101.1fm as we present live events, exclusive interviews, historical perspectives and a behind the scenes look at how Dallas has positioned itself as one of the leading cultural centers in the u.S. our october radio broadcasts and award winning web site is your guide to the performances and festivities of the new cultural arts district in Dallas.

Dougherty’s Pharmacy ‘Marches’ on to 80 years of serving you

We know them for helping start our day with the ‘March of the Day’ weekdays at 7:35 a.m., but Dougherty’s Pharmacy has been a fixture in the Dallas community for many decades.

the year was 1929. Penicillin was discovered. herbert hoover, Joseph Stalin and benito Mussolini were in power. the Academy Awards were created. America was just embarking on the tumultuous journey known as the Great Depression.

but it was also the year that texas-native bill Dougherty opened the doors to – what was then a trusted and popular business, and is now a trusted and popular Dallas institution – Dougherty’s Pharmacy.

“this month Dougherty’s Pharmacy will celebrate 80 years of serving the community and being much more than just a place to fill a prescription,” says Jim Potter, Vice President and General Manager of Dougherty’s. “We’ll be hosting activities and in-store specials throughout the week of october 26. everyone is invited.”

Since its inception, Dougherty’s has offered a breadth and depth of product and customer-oriented service that is incomparable in texas. today, it is the oldest and largest retail pharmacy in texas. It has the ability to provide services found no where else in Dallas such as sterile compounding, vaccines, nutraceutical offerings and nutritional counseling, a selection of durable medical equipment that is unmatched in the city, veterinary medicines, unique and upscale gifts and cosmetics, home delivery, and much more. the pharmacy is also committed to being an active and vital member of the community through it’s partnership with Gilda’s Club and its Prescriptions for life Presentation Series.

In an era of big business and discount pricing, Dougherty’s Pharmacy provides a level of service and a feeling of community that is truly reminiscent of a bygone era.

Join WRR at Dougherty’s on the corner of Preston and Royal Wednesday october 28 from 5-7 p.m. to celebrate 80 years of excellence.

‘All the World’s a Stage’ at DMA

Nasher Sculpture Center focuses on Foster + Partners Architects

the Dallas Museum of Art presents All the World’s a Stage: Celebrating Performance in the Visual Arts now through Feb. 28, 2010.

Stage showcases a fresh look at the museum’s collections in an interactive installation to commemorate the opening of the At&t Performing Arts Center of Dallas and the completion of the Dallas Arts District. Nearly 125 works spanning 2,600 years of human creativity, including paintings, sculptures, photography, and objects from around the world, will illustrate how dance, music, and theater performance is an essential human instinct.

the exhibition depicts how performance, in all its varied forms, has been created, transformed, and documented by visual artists, working in concert with dancers, musicians, and actors to both shape and record their efforts.

encompassing all time periods and cultures, and a broad range of media, the exhibition features such masterpieces as Pietro Paolini’s Bacchic Concert, Jean-Antoine-théodore Giroust’s Oedipus at Colonus, Pablo Picasso’s The Guitarist, Romare bearden’s Soul Three, and a group of edward Degas’s pastels of ballet dancers, as well as masterworks from the Museum’s distinguished collections from Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. organized across time and culture, thematic groupings of artworks in the exhibition include why we perform, how we perform, who is a performer, where performances take place, and what makes a performance.

of special note, All the World’s a Stage has been organized collaboratively by all of the DMA’s curators, and the exhibition design will include a presentation space within the galleries that will host a variety of performers at special times throughout the exhibition.

Continuing its investigation of contemporary architecture, the Nasher Sculpture Center presents the first u.S. retrospective of the work of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Norman Foster and his architectural firm, Foster + Partners, September 26, 2009 through January 10, 2010.

Coinciding with the grand opening of the new, Foster-designed Winspear opera house in the At&t Performing Arts Center, the exhibition will explore Foster + Partners’ major architectural achievements of a practice that spans the past four decades. Architectural models, along with drawings, renderings, photographs, and videos, will give insight into the formal and conceptual underpinnings of Foster + Partners’ architecture and provide context for better understanding their contribution to the panoply of modernist architecture in Dallas.

“the Nasher is pleased to present an exhibition which showcases Foster + Partner’s greatest architectural works and explores the firm’s philosophy that the quality of surroundings has a direct influence on the quality of lives and the culture and climate of place,” said Jeremy Strick, Director of the Nasher Sculpture Center. “With the opening of the Foster-designed Winspear opera house, Dallas will be the only city in the world that has four buildings within one contiguous block designed by Pritzker Architecture Prize winners, including the Renzo Piano-designed Nasher Sculpture Center.”

Foster + Partners’ philosophy was born from early experimental projects undertaken with R. buckminster Fuller in the 1970s that attempted to align the built environment more closely with natural forms and processes. Focusing on cultural

buildings and civic spaces, as well as select infrastructure projects, the Art of Architecture: Foster + Partners will present important milestones in the firm’s practice that reflect its emphases on structural innovation and sustainable design and provide important precedents for the Winspear opera house. the exhibition will feature some of the largest and most notable structures in the world, including the Great Court at the british Museum, the Reichstag in berlin, trafalgar Square in london, and the new terminal 3 at the beijing International Airport.
