MUSIC Tragic tale The Metropolitan Opera is bringing world-class opera to Marine Park, for free, in celebration of the 40th anniversary of “Met in the Parks.” This bit of Lincoln Center can be enjoyed locally on Aug. 25 when Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Traviata” (“The Fallen Woman”) comes to life on the green. The performance will be a concert version of the legendary story of the consumptive courte- san, Violetta (Maureen O’Flynn, left), and Al- fredo (Garrett Sorenson) and the many obstacles they have to overcome for love.
