THE SHINING @ Lyric Opera Kansas City is a monster hit. The first reviews are in: all raves.
"Since its premiere at Minnesota Opera in 2016, The Shining, with music by Paul Moravec and a libretto by Mark Campbell, has made perhaps the strongest case so far for horror opera: It stands out, in fact, as one of the most effective new operas we’ve seen here."
