Hi - anyone have an idea when I should get there to get a decent seat, or if getting there early is even necessary?

Thanks

    It depends how close to the stage you want to be. I usually get there around 8 and pitch a blanket pretty far back. The sound is fine but there are usually more kids playing the further back you go. Enjoy!

    This is the first I'm hearing about this concert. Last year when they did the NYC Opera in the park, it was very lightly attended becuase they did no advertising at all.

    There have been no flyers on bodega windows, nothing....

    When the Met Opera performed at Prospect Park last year there were 50,000 people in attendance. I think tonight's show will be well attended because of the great weather. Agree that I haven't seen in posters up locally --probably because of budget cuts at the cultural organizations limited money for printing.

    Why go to all the trouble of staging a large production like this if you don't spend the additional money to promote it....seems logical.

    Awesome? Well, best I can say is I got what I paid for. Kids running around screaming? Check. Adults talking on their cell phones and to each other? Check. Seemingly everybody there for the spectacle and nobody there to actually listen to music? Check.

    I'm glad some people enjoyed themselves, but this is the first and last free concert of the sort I'll attend.

    I'm happy to report that at 7 this morning, the park was not too trashed despite last night's crowds. The trash cans were full and had more around them on the ground but almost all of it was neatly tied into grocery and garbage bags--there really wasn't trash scattered in any of the fields.

    Even if they were chatty, the crowd at least picked up after itself.
