Foiled by bad weather…
It’s a bummer but such is life. We’ve been keeping an eye on the weather forecast, watching as the rain is predicted to go later into the evening than previously expected. So we’ve decided it’s safest to postpone this evening’s concert. We’ll keep you updated with the details for when we’ll be doing Take 2 as they are confirmed.

“Overjoyed…from the music, the artists, the experience, and the company I shared it with. I’ve been a singer and lover of classical music for so long, but never would I imagine that my very first time seeing Opera live would take place on a stoop in Brooklyn.”
— Lia Robertson, Professional dancer and coach
“The Opera Next Door single-handedly opened my eyes to the beauty, storytelling, and transcendence of opera. With clever supertitles, modern references, and a stellar cast, TOND welcomed me into Mozart’s world, and provided me with a deeper understanding and appreciation for this art form. I’ll never forget those summer performances, sitting on the block with New Yorkers from every walk of life - it was pure magic.”
— Kristina Dominick, Host of With the Band podcast
