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.
The opera is almost about to start and we see mezzo-soprano Dolora Zajick warming up. Zajick plays Amneris, daughter of the King of Egypt, one of the main roles in Aida.
It's often the case that professional classical musicians and singers don't like performing unexpectedly for video. They get self-conscious and a little paranoid that some random recording will capture them on a bad day and history will judge them unfairly. And so, it was really gracious of Dolora Zajick to let us tape her when she was warming up in the hallway offstage.
