A "A Night at the Opera” is one of The Bay Citizen's first experiments in "Citizen Journalism."
Part of The Bay Citizen’s mission to build and engage in the community around us. And so we've teamed up with the San Francisco Opera to be their “online media sponsor” for “Opera in the Ballpark,” which is happening on Friday.
Jess Perry is the SF Opera's budget manager by day and in the evening, he's in the chorus.
"Singing is my first love," says Perry, whose first role in an opera was as a priest in Aida.
Perry says the most relaxing part of performance night is sitting in the make-up chair.
The most challenging part of tonight's performance? Not tripping in his costume, which has a hooped skirt. "You can't see your feet so the challenge is walking without falling down," Perry says.
