"Take me out to the Opera" tonight at AT&T Park

[Neecy]

God, I miss living in San Francisco. This is a fun story.

(And Samson and Delilah is one of my favorites, too. Damn).

When the fat lady sings Friday, her audience will be eating peanuts and Cracker Jack.


Putting a major league twist on efforts by U.S. opera companies to bring their art to the masses, the San Francisco Opera plans to broadcast its latest production at the city's baseball stadium while it's being performed live across town.


Instead of rooting for their downtrodden home team, thousands of people are expected to fill AT&T Park's field and lower stands to watch Saint-Saens'"Samson and Delilah" starring Olga Borodina and Clifton Forbis on a jumbo video screen.


"We are going to have fun. We are going to sing 'Take Me Out to the Opera.' We are going to have tailgate parties, load up on the garlic fries, get our blue bloods here clotted up," said the opera's general director, David Gockley, who will welcome the satellite spectators from the stage of the War Memorial Opera House.
