This season began with Luciano Pavarotti in Donizetti's L'Elisir d'Amore. Coming up are Jon Vickers in Britten's Peter Grimes and Frederica von Stade in The Barber of Seville. This November the Lyric will mount its first Die Meister singer. For opening night next year, Fox has even hired Broadway Director Harold Prince (A Little Night Music) to concoct...
