The Metropolitan Opera offered a blockbuster performance in Prospect Park last night and reports are starting to roll in. Brooklynometry has some coverage and there is a story from NY1, which only describes the crowd as being in the “thousands.” More than a 100,000 were expected and a very, very large crowd came. More to come.

    It was pretty awesome to hear some opera in the park last night. I only wish people would have some better manners and hold their applause for the end of the aria instead of clapping and hooting smack dab in the middle. Alas, what is one to expect from the uncultured proles.
