On Tuesday June 19th: pack a picnic, grab a blanket, and experience opera under the stars
as the Metropolitan Opera returns to PROSPECT PARK with Gounod’s Faust.

A summertime tradition in New York since 1967 and in New Jersey since 1987, the series opens with back-to-back concerts in Manhattan’s Central Park on June 12 and 13, with six additional performances in each borough of the city and two locations in New Jersey.

All performances begin at 8pm and are free of charge.
