Boston Lyric Opera’s Street Stage heads to South Boston for a night of music, community-building, and fun! BLO’s virtuosic musicians will transform Boston’s largest waterfront park into an open-air concert hall with an engaging multicultural musical program pairing beloved classics with lesser-known works. There will be dinner, yard games, and family-friendly art activities provided by Boston Harbor Now. Visit the playground, take a stroll to the ocean, or meet neighbors from the surrounding community during this memorable summer event.
This program is free and is recommended for audiences of all ages. Texts and English translations of the multilingual program will be provided on site.
Street Stage is supported by the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture and the City of Boston through the Neighborhood and Downtown Activation Grant. The 2024 Street Stage season is sponsored by HarborOne Bank.
