Opera at the Ballpark, Lucia edition

Discipulus Legis and I went to AT&T Park last night to see Lucia di Lammermoor simulcast live from the War Memorial opera house. It wasn't exactly my cup of tea (bel canto opera as a whole is not my cup of tea), and the sexism in the opera reminded me a bit too strongly of Obama and the DNC, but I still enjoyed myself immensely. My favorite Discipulus Legis quote from last night: "I loved Tosca because she just fucking died at the end." Yes, it did take Lucia and Edgardo a long time to die. Below is video from the event.
