San Francisco's Ballpark Breaks Out The Free Opera

If you’re in the Bay Area and are looking for something classy to do on a Friday night, then have we got the perfect event for you. The San Francisco Opera is putting on a free simulcast performance of Puccini’s Tosca at AT&T Park. Sure, it’s just a live stream of the performance, but we’re pretty sure this is one of only a few opportunities to have opera glasses in one hand and a hot dog in the other.

Things get underway this evening starting at 8:00 pm, but you’re welcome to spread out your blanket and get a good spot from 6:30 pm. Just remember to pre-register your group online, or else you won’t get early access to the festivities. For the best seats, head straight to the front of the stadium’s 103-feet wide high-definition screen.

Leave your Two-Buck Chuck at home, because the ballpark rules are still in effect. Also, no unsealed bottles of any kind, and no picnic baskets. You can bring in picnic-type foods; they just have to be in a soft-sided container. Squished sandwiches don’t sound like a great accompaniment to a night at the opera, so swing by the concession stands for garlic fries instead.
