Heading into the weekend with the Friday Roundup, we get some pronunciation help on the 19th century’s master of the melodrama, jazzy stuff at the DMA, sharing sisters between Fort Worth and Dallas — and more!

The Dallas Opera gives away money, a couple in Allen tried to steal money in an art-fraud scheme, a possible big hit art show is coming to Fort Worth and more — all in Tuesday’s roundup.

And the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth is ranked second among ‘top new museums.’ The two buildings also appear among the 60 “most visited landmarks” chosen by the readers of Travel & Leisure.

Today in the roundup: A street artist breaks into the Modern, the year in visual art and rethinking “Les Mis.”

Today in the roundup: How to be a zombie, Sandra Day O’Connor in Fort Worth and an advanced look at a major show coming to the Modern.

Today in the roundup: Extra cash for the OCA, Sarah Jaffe’s new CD (and DVD!) and the details of The Modern’s design.

Before we hit the beach, we offer yet another Dallasite making a debut on a New York stage — this time with a play. We catch up with KNON and ‘Porgy and Bess,’ plus Brit theater flickering to life at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth

The great British painter died in July, but he’ll be coming to Fort Worth in a major retrospective of his portrait paintings. THIS WILL BE THE ONLY U.S. VENUE.

Today in the roundup: Remembering Cy Twombly locally, a battle of wits in Fort Worth and previewing the Modern Dance Festival.

Royal gift suggestions from the DMA, new high school musical theater awards, a dust-up over ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ memoir and lots of talk/not talk about a contemporary art curating controversy — all in today’s roundup.
