We kicked-off our three River to River performances yesterday with a one-hour version of The Magic Flute.  The warm and sunny evening weather couldn't have been better--a rare treat for New Yorkers these days.  We could tell by the number of picnics and lawn chairs that lots of people had planned ahead.  Others heard the music on their evening walks and decided to stay for the concert.  Even the NYCO staff was eager to be out in the fresh air.  Staff from every department were passing out flyers and chatting with guests about the concert and our next season.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are still two more chances to catch a free concert this weekend.  Tonight we'll be performing La Navarraise at the Winter Garden in the World Financial Center and tomorrow we'll be giving a concert of popular arias, ensembles, and overtures at Pier 17 on the South Street Seaport.  Both concerts start at 7pm.
