For as much of a movie and music fan as I am, I honestly can’t stand musicals or operas. 99% of the time, I don’t like the music, I don’t like the lyrics, I don’t like the presentation…I simply don’t like ’em! But every once in a while, one passes me by that stops me in my tracks and makes me think, “Y’know what? I’m okay with this.”

While I haven’t devoted a full listening session to the Minnesota Opera’s presentation of The Shining, I’m already intrigued. After all, it’s a new take on Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, which I find to be one of the scariest films of all time. Plus, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by Stage Fright and I find Cannibal: The Musical to be one of the funniest comedies on the planet.

So, I plan on giving this a shot at some point in the near future because Classical MPR has made the entire near-two hour event available to stream. The catch is that you only have until November 30th to listen to it all. So you better hurry if you want to hear Jack epically sing “I’m not gonna hurt ya. I’m just going to bash your brains in! Gonna bash ’em right the fuck in!” If that doesn’t excite you, I don’t know what to say.

To listen to The Shining, simply head on over to ClassicalMPR.org.
