Terrific Opening Night coverage from Jeanne Prejean, who presides over “My Sweet Charity,” an “ongoing conversation for the good of Dallas.” Jeanne, with her photographer’s eye, captured the glamour but also saw the incalculable value of the young couples, older couples, and families with kids enjoying the evening (and the opera) on blankets on the Winspear lawn.
