For L Magazine’s latest attempt at lo-brow meets hi-brow arts curation (see an old Deli article about this here), they have joined forces with NYC Opera to bring us Act 4. Closing out several nights of independent opera productions, theater goers will get to hear independent-minded musicians… rocking out for the tux crowd.
Opera lovers can hear what the kids are doing, and hipsters can enjoy snooty drinks while retaining their hard-earned cred. Everybody wins! It looks like this will be ongoing for at least the next couple months, so keep checking the site for details.
My personal fave, Brooklyn’s summer soul duo Beach Fossils will be playing at Avery Fisher Hall’s fourth ring cocktail bar this Thursday following a performance of The Elixir of Love. Their show is free with your opera ticket, so check it out. If Elixir of Love’s composer Gaetano Donizetti’s awesome facial hair is any indication, this opera may be more relevant to Brooklyn’s scene than I thought. – Mike Levine (@goldnuggets)
