La Traviata at the ballpark

On Saturday evening we went along to the Opera. Being in San Francisco I didn't want to get too orthodox or traditional, so we went to watch La Traviata as a "simulcast" at the Giants Baseball ground. The show had been rigged up to be broadcast simultaneously from the stage to a big screen at the baseball ground. It sounds all new fangled but it's just really another Americanism for "live broadcast".

It was performed really well by the San Francisco Opera Company who were as diverse a cast as were the people enjoying the show.

Even though it was fun, you can't beat going to see a performance live on stage, but then, they don't serve hot chocolate and garlic fries in the opera house!
