Director Graham Vick and Natalie Dessay have created a Lucia that is memorable and sure to become a classic. The crowd at the ballpark was fully engaged in the story, and after particularly thrilling arias heartily applauded and shouted along with the audience at the War Memorial Opera House. I haven’t seen any crowd counts, but they easily could have doubled last year’s attendance of 15,000. The story is filled with big emotions, grand gestures and high drama.
The opera’s melodramatic story line of competing clans, forbidden love, passion and grand tragedy was perfect for this gigantic venue.
It was an usually hot day, but as the sun began to set, thousands gathered at AT&T park for a live simulcast of San Francisco Opera’s production o f Lucia di Lammermoor.
