About: Opera in the Park

An Entity of Type: work, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Opera in the Park was an annual large-scale open-air concert in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is held in the grounds of the Jacobean mansion Temple Newsam, and is followed the next day by Party in the Park, a pop concert, thus making double use of the work and expense involved in setting up the venue. It was said to be the largest free classical concert in the UK, but a charge for tickets was introduced in 2011 as a result of "extreme budget pressures" on the council. The programme comprises solos, chorus works and orchestral pieces from opera, and the concert usually ends with an encore of "Nessun Dorma", the aria popularised by its use as theme tune for the 1990 FIFA World Cup.
