Opera at the Ballpark: “Carmen”

But, thanks to the Opera at the Ballpark program, you can watch a live simulcast of the very same opera on the giant HD screens in the ballpark from any seat in AT&T Park totally free with 30,000 of your closest opera fan friends.
The live simulcast will be transmitted from the War Memorial Opera House to AT&T Park’s 103-feet wide high definition video board.
