Welcome to the 2022-2023 season, Lyric Opera of Kansas City’s 65th season of outstanding musical storytelling. After two pandemic years and a reduced 2021-2022 season, we are thrilled to return to FOUR productions in the Kauffman Center next season.
Join us on musical adventures and travel to bull-fighting rings in Seville, elegant parties in Paris, the world of an extraordinary boy in Bethlehem, and finally, explore the life and work of Stephen Sondheim. All through the power of live performance that only opera can achieve, and most importantly, right here in your own Kansas City community. We invite you to join us and OPEN YOUR WORLD.
An Important Update regarding the vaccination policy for Lyric Opera performances at the Kauffman Center.
