Opera on Tap: Non-stuffy Opera Sung Live in a Bar | SF

Opera on Tap is a non-profit organization whose mission is to break down the stereo-type that opera is a stuffy or an elitist art form, by bringing it to bars.

Local singers let their hair down and bring you into what feels like an after hours back stage party, singing some of opera’s best known and little known pieces in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Love, passion, betrayal and death: a raw and gut-wrenching adaptation of Bizet’s classic masterpiece, created by Peter Brook, Marius Constant and Jean-Claude Carrière, this 90-minute piece contains all of the drama of the original seen through a radical new lens. Set in the Film Noir style, the opera features four singers and three actors accompanied by piano. Sung in French with English supertitles.
