Met Opera in Prospect Park

Friday night I attended the Metropolitan Opera's summer concert in Prospect Park. This was one of those performances that makes me so happy to live in New York. I've been to outdoor concerts in Central Park, but being a Brooklyn resident, there's always something special about walking to a show in Prospect Park. This year's show featured soloists Angela Gheorghiu and Roberto Alagna, with the orchestra conducted by Ion Marin. There were works by Verdi, Bizet, Catalani, Alagna, Donizetti, Puccini and Delibes.
