The heat rises ,and everyone in the city starts to enjoy many of our outdoor summer traditions. High on my list personally, are the annual concerts by the Philharmonic in the park ,as well as the Met Opera recital series. And last year-they added Summer in HD where they broadcast, for free, the HD versions of some of the operas right at Lincoln Center. Bringing the arts to a wider audience.
So here are tips for this week !
Tonight ! The Metropolitan Opera Summer Recital Series begins for this year.At 8p, at summer stage, and then on to the boroughs,and all of these subsequent performances are at 7p. On Thursday July 15th in Crotona Park in Queens, on July 20th at Brooklyn Bridge Park (in Brooklyn) , July 22nd Tappan Park on Staten Island ,July 27th Queens Bridge Park (in Queens) and ending on Jul
New York Philharmonic’s Concerts in the Park- all five boroughs-but this year, the first two nights are at Central Park’s famed Great Lawn. Grab a blanket, pack a picnic dinner and head out to hear one of the world’s best orchestras perform.
Tuesday and Wednesday night at 8P on the Great Lawn-make a night of it with friends !
Thursday and Friday nights, are at Cunningham Park in Queens, and Prospect Park in Brooklyn ,respectively. Many of the evenings end with fireworks too.And hopefully the weather will be fabulous (I have many times gotten caught in a downpour-but what fun it was ,rain or not !)
For those who love brass and percussion ensembles- on Saturday 7/17 and Monday 7/19 the New York Philharmonic Brass and Percussion Ensemble will perform. Saturday is at the College of Staten Island/CUNY Center for Arts- it’s also free, but tickets are required-for more information call 718-982-2787. And Monday evening, the last evening in the series, is at Hostos Community College-also requiring tickets, and for more information call 718-518-4555.
As we roll closer to the end of August, look for a post on the HD opera screenings at Lincoln Center- I really enjoyed going last year, looking forward to it again !
Til the next time, always at your service.
