SAT JULY 16, 2011 AT 8:00 PM IN GARNER PARK
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." Madison Opera's grand summer music celebration is lauded for the quality of the music and the romance of the setting year after year.

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. Opera in the Park features familiar opera hits, the best of Broadway and musical highlights from the upcoming Madison Opera season.

Enjoy a romantic evening under the stars or bring your family and friends. This event is free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations are needed. Garner Park opens at 7 AM on the day of the concert, and blankets, chairs, food and beverages are allowed. For more information, visit madisonopera.org.
