Stephen Costello will sing in two of the Metropolitan Opera’s popular free open-air recitals this summer

Now in its fifth season, the Metropolitan Opera’s free Summer Recital Series presents recitals of operatic arias and duets, together with selections from the American Songbook, in parks in all five boroughs of New York. When the series returns this summer, Stephen Costello will be featured in two of the upcoming concerts. On Tuesday, July 16, he will help launch the series at Central Park SummerStage, with soprano Erin Morley, described by the Wall Street Journal as “spectacular”; mezzo Isabel Leonard, who recently followed in Costello’s footsteps, winning the 2013 Richard Tucker Award; and pianist Bradley Moore, who regularly collaborates with the likes of Renée Fleming, Plácido Domingo, and Yo-Yo Ma. Then on Friday, July 19, the four artists reunite for a second free outdoor performance, at Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
