The first half of April affords opera fans several opportunities to enjoy their favorites. The Lyric Opera closes 41 years in the Lyric Theatre with a production of Mozart’s "The Marriage of Figaro." Also, this month gives you not one, but two opportunities to hear Handel operas (or excerpts from) by the Boston Early Music Festival courtesy of The Friends of Chamber Music and by the William Jewell College music department. Another operatic highlight is Kansas City Metro Opera’s production of a rarely done Gilbert & Sullivan piece, "The Gondoliers." Fans of dance have several juicy opportunities this month, including the famed Joffrey Ballet at JCCC, City in Motion Dance Theater at the H&R Block City Stage in Union Station, the 940 Dance Company in Lawrence, and the UMKC Conservatory’s spring dance concert. Piano connoisseurs have an opportunity to hear pianist Alpin Hong at the Lied Center. We also have a spring performance by the outstanding Summerfest chamber ensemble, Mozart's Requiem with Timothy McDonald’s Musica Sacra, guitarist Douglas Niedt in recital, and the renowned ensemble I Musici de Montréal with the Harriman–Jewell Series. In addition, a number of community ensembles have spring concerts, including several with patriotic themes.
