In
addition to the usual mix of movies, music and theater, Arlington offers quite
an eclectic number of entertainment events this weekend. They range from a teen
talent contest and the presence of what are apparently some literary dogs to
opera on the big (really big) screen at Cowboys Stadium. Check these out:

Stadium Simulcast of Italian composer Giacomo Puccini’s “Turandot” at the
state-of-the-art home of the Dallas Cowboys, located at One Legends Way. Enjoy

video board. Doors open at 6:00pm. Warner Bros. Classics’ “What’s Opera, Doc?”
