Met Opera Announces Outdoor Performances

The Metropolitan Opera released the performers, dates and places on Monday for the free park recitals it sponsors every summer in lieu of full-scale opera performances, which were suspended after 2007 because of the cost. The soprano Erin Morley, the mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard and the tenor Stephen Costello, accompanied by the pianist Bradley Moore, will sing at Central Park’s SummerStage on July 16 and at Brooklyn Bridge Park on July 19.

In four more concerts, the soprano Ying Fang, the tenor Mario Chang and the bass-baritone Brandon Cedel, again accompanied by Mr. Moore, will appear at Crotona Park in the Bronx on July 23; Clove Lakes Park in Staten Island on July 25; Jackie Robinson Park in Manhattan on July 30; and Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens on Aug. 1. The Met will also repeat outdoor screenings in Lincoln Center of its high-definition theater broadcasts starting on Aug. 24. It will present 10 screenings.
