The Lyric Opera of Kansas City brings The Shining by composer Paul Moravec and librettist Mark Campbell to the company's first appearance in the WFMT Opera Series. An adaptation of Stephen King’s horror novel, the opera relates the story of Jack Torrance, performed by Edward Parks, and his descent into madness at the isolated Overlook Hotel. Kelly Kaduce stars as Wendy Torrance, with Aubrey Allicock as Dick Hallorann and Roger Honeywell as Lloyd the Bartender. Gerard Schwarz conducts this gripping psychological narrative, blending supernatural elements with intense drama.
