Lyric Opera of Kansas City ends its season with Garnett Bruce's blockbuster production of Puccini's Turandot. 

The Metropolitan Opera makes good on its promise to present more contemporary work, opening the season with Jake Heggie's gut wrenching tale of rage and redemption. 

Alessandro Talevi production for Festival O has sight gags and vaudeville tricks aplenty and features splendid voices in a fine cast.
