For five consecutive nights, October 3–7, 2018, 1,000 singers from across New York City will come together on the High Line for the first-ever performances of The Mile-Long Opera: a biography of 7 o’clock. Audience members will be
active participants in this ambitious, collective, free choral work. As they move along the park, in and out of groups of singers, audience members will immerse themselves in hundreds of stories inspired by the accounts of a wide range of New Yorkers, about life in our rapidly changing city.


Set in one of the most dynamic public spaces for observing New York City and its multitude of intersecting lives, The Mile-Long Opera invites audiences to move in and out of groups of singers as they walk along the High Line.
