The Wisconsin State Journal has described Madison Opera's Opera in the Park as "One gorgeous, near perfect mid-summer evening, lounging for a few hours on the expansive lawn at Garner Park with several thousand friends...and music, really good music, played and sung very well indeed." This free annual event is Madison Opera's grand summer music celebration, lauded for the quality of the music and the romance of the setting year after year. Opera in the Park features familiar opera hits, the best of Broadway and musical highlights from the upcoming Madison Opera season. John DeMain leads the Madison Symphony Orchestra, the Madison Opera Chorus, and some of opera’s brightest stars in a free community event for all ages. Enjoy a romantic evening under the stars or bring your family and friends. For more information, visit the madisonopera.org.
