Since the Metropolitan Opera played Prospect Park on Friday night, there has been some mystery as to the exact size of the crowd. It’s interesting because the Met had predicted up to 150,000 people, and set up to handle a crowd that large. The police estimate the turnout at 50,000, which is still the largest ever for a show in the park. Some attendees, however, have pegged the crowd as being much smaller, in the 25,000-35,000 range. Regardless, the show was very well received and included six encores.–NYT
