Last night I went to an Opera at the Ball Park. It wa
s a great fun! Tons of people, perhaps the whole city showed up. San Francisco Opera's Lucia di Lammermoor by Gaetano Donezetti with Natalie Dessay as Lucia was projected on a giant screen cristal clear. The performance was fantastic and it was Miss Dessay's debut in San Francisco. The sound was first rate too. We even got to sing 
"Take me out to the Opera" during the intermission like the baseball's seventh inning stretch. About the opera itself? I'll let you know about the story and my impression in part two. Stay tuned. Meawhile, you can read about it here http://sfopera.com/o/260.asp. Take me out to the opera,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me seat at the Opera House.
I don’t care if it’s Mozart or Strauss,
For it’s “root, root, root, for the divas,
Bring a friend or a spouse,
For it’s “one, two, three cheers for you”
at the Opera House.
(The original song is below. You can sing along and change the words accordingly).
