Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony has been absent from Wyoming’s spectacularly sited festival for almost a decade, but that gets put right when music director Donald Runnicles conducts the Festival Orchestra on opening night. The recently introduced operatic strand continues with a semi-staged performance of Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, the Gateway Series includes crack vocalists Chanticleer, and mezzo Sasha Cooke premieres a song cycle by Alex Turley.
