Met Opera Cancels Staten Island Performance

The Metropolitan Opera recital scheduled for Thursday night in Staten Island’s Clove Lakes Park has been canceled because of expected bad weather, the opera announced Thursday. The recital, part of the Summer Recital Series, will not be rescheduled.

The series will continue next week with the same cast. It includes the soprano Ying Fang, the tenor Mario Chang, the bass-baritone Brandon Cedel and the pianist Bradley Moore. The final two recitals of the summer will take place on Tuesday, July 30 at 7 p.m. in Manhattan’s Jackie Robinson Park, and on Thursday, August 1, at 7 p.m. in Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City. Both performances are free.
