Katie Van Kooten, originally of Olympia, Wash., is in Kansas City to sing the role of Countess Almaviva in the Lyric Opera’s production of “The Marriage of Figaro.” The comedy by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is the last opera the company will perform at the Lyric Theatre before moving to the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. As an homage to the theater, the production has been updated to be set in the present and incorporates the building itself into the action. A guide to the opera (opening Saturday; tickets start at $30) is at www.kcopera.org.
