San Francisco Opera to Screen ‘Lucia di Lammermoor’ in Drive In Format

By Francisco Salazar

San Francisco Opera will present Donizetti’s “Lucia di Lammermoor” on Oct. 25, 2020 at Fort Mason Flix Drive-In.

This one-night-only opportunity to witness opera on the 40’ X 20’ LED screen at the Marina District drive-in and enjoy snacks from Off the Grid food trucks will feature the Company’s 2008 performance of Donizetti’s masterpiece.

The production starred Natalie Dessay in the title role, Giuseppe Filianoti as Edgardo, Gabriele Viviani as Enrico, and Oren Gradus as Raimondo. Jean-Yves Ossonce conducted the San Francisco Opera Orchestra and Chorus in his first American engagement.

San Francisco Opera and Fort Mason have committed to a safe moviegoing experience for all attendees and staff at the Company’s first-ever operatic drive-in event.

Beginning at 5 pm, a limited capacity of 98 cars with pre-purchased tickets will be admitted and spaced at 6 feet between vehicles with an 18-foot drive lane every two rows. Guests must remain in their cars during the opera and wear a mask when leaving to visit concessions or restrooms. Congregating or watching the opera outside of vehicles will not be permitted.
