Hmmm... I'm not sure what you mean by "an ordinary way" -- for me, at least, the ordinary way of pronouncing "opening" *is* "ope-ning."
Can't go with you on that one. The only place I ever hear it as two syllables is in "Kiss Me Kate," and it grates on me every time.
But I shouldn't cast aspersions; It's always "ev-'ning," and the three-syllable version of that one sounds odd to me.
