Talk Bronx New York

After replacing its summer parks series last year with one free mega-concert in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, the Metropolitan Opera on Wednesday announced a new plan for this summer: a series of six free recitals from July 13 through Aug. 14 in all five boroughs, starting at Summer Stage in Central Park, with Paulo Szot, Lisette Oropesa, Alek Shrader and Vlad Iftinca. After the opening recital, at 8 p.m. on July 13, a Monday, the rest will take place on Friday evenings at 7 p.m.: July 17 at Crotona Park in the Bronx; July 24 at Queensbridge Park in Queens; July 31 at East River Park in Manhattan; Aug. 7 at Tappan Park in Staten Island; and Aug. 14 at Coffey Park in Brooklyn. The Met will also offer, starting on Aug 29, a 10-day festival of high-definition broadcasts of Met productions in Lincoln Center Plaza, ending with Anthony Minghella’s staging of “Madama Butterfly” on Labor Day.
