Protest at Dante Park on 
Monday, October 20 in connection with 
The Met Opera's Opening Night Performance of The Death of Klinghoffer 
___________________________________________________
We have been informed by the New York City Police Department that there will be a protest on Monday, October 20, 2014, between the hours of 4:00pm and 8:00pm in and around Dante Park (across from Lincoln Center between 63rd and 64th Street), in connection with The Metropolitan Opera's Opening Night Performance of The Death of Klinghoffer. It is our understanding that the NYPD expects 3,000-4,000 people to attend, with protesters gathering at approximately 2:00pm. The parking lane alongside Dante Park on Columbus Avenue between 63rd and 64th Street will be cordoned off with police barricades, which may be moved further west to close traffic lanes if necessary. It is also our understanding that there will be a platform set up in the parking lane near West 63rd Street. 

 

The majority of the demonstrators will be in Dante Park; however, there will be approximately 40-50 additional demonstrators in front of Lincoln Center's Josie Robertson Plaza.  Expect to see "No Parking" signs around the perimeter of Dante Park on Monday, October 20 and, depending on the turnout, there may be temporary lane/crosswalk closures in and around the Dante Park area.  The NYPD will maintain a presence throughout the event.  We will also have our public safety officers present. 

 

Businesses, other organizations, and pedestrians in the area may be impacted by the protest. For more information, you may call the Lincoln Square BID office at 212.581.3774 or 311.
