Opera at the Ballpark

San Francisco readers take note. On Saturday, 24 September the San Francisco Opera will present a special simulcast of its production of Verdi's Aida broadcast live from the the city's historic War Memorial Opera House. The simulcast will be shown at AT&T Park (home of the San Francisco Giants) at 8pm. Admission is free but requires advance registration.

More and more opera companies are expanding their patron base by bringing opera directly into local communities. Opera in Cinema offers broadcasts, often live, of opera performances by some of the world's leading opera houses shown in neighbourhood movie theatres. For the price of a movie ticket one can enjoy stellar productions from Covent Garden, La Scala, and Teatro Carlo Felice practically in one's own backyard! To find an Opera in Cinema theatre near you visit their website and search using your zip code. You can also find OIC on Facebook.
