Performance

The orchestra is gearing up for limited, in-person concerts in the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts starting January 17 after almost a year away from an indoor stage.

The Kansas City Ballet's first performance of "The Nutcracker" was in 1972. And for many families across the metro, the production is a holiday tradition. But for the first time in nearly 50 years a pandemic has put the show on hold.

The 2021 Grammy nominees were announced on Tuesday — and at least five artists with Kansas City ties are in the mix.

The 2020 version of Kansas City Repertory Theatre’s "A Christmas Carol," like most things during the coronavirus era, will be a little different — now it's a virtual production with a cast of four instead of 50.

Kansas City Ballet, Lyric Opera of Kansas City, and others canceled seasons earlier this year because of COVID-19. Now rising cases in the metro, and new restrictions, are thwarting attempts to bring back indoor performances.

Outdoor productions, small venues and online performances are in the works as the Lyric Opera continues its year of "New Visions."

When his performance schedule ground to a halt, pianist Mark Lowrey created a concert series. Facebook Live is the venue, and house plants are the groupies.

Ongoing concerns about the coronavirus keep venues closed. Two Liberty-based opera artists, a singer and a stage director, try to embrace the situation instead of fighting it.

With ongoing concerns about the coronavirus, Kansas City Ballet, Kansas City Symphony, Lyric Opera Of Kansas City, and Harriman-Jewell Series opt out of large gatherings at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.
