Plot Comments

Scene iii. The betrayal. The floor in every scene looks like a chess board. The pieces are moving. #LuciaSF @SFOpera

Edgardo and Lucia are such a cute pair. Destined to crash and burn but cute. #LuciaSF

Stunning mad scene @SFOpera #LuciaSF couldn't be bothered to tweet I was so enraptured

instead of killing your spouse, maybe next time just say no? #LuciaSF #lessonsinmoderation

That Reminds Me Of…

Enrico going for a look similar to President in #HungerGames. Wearing cream and white does not a villain disguise #LuciaSF

Before #GameOfThrones there was #Opera! #WithFamilyLikeThis! #LuciaSF @SFOpera

Kelly green and cerulean ball gowns! It's Mad Men meets Henry James! @SFOpera #LuciaSF

The Look Of It

Lucia's dress is spectacular and demands attention. Where does one buy a replica? #AskingForAFriend #LuciaSF

— Ayoung Jeon (@ajeon) October 4, 2015

Enrico's living room would rent for about $10k/month here in San Francisco. Dang. #LuciaSF

Great uses of simple lighting, perspective and shadow in the sets. #setdesign #LuciaSF #opera

Opera’s Like That

Why can't we talk about everything in song form? #LuciaSF #makestaxesmoreinteresting

do what i say, or i'll become a ghost! -- sometimes i threaten people with that too, success has been questionable #LuciaSF

— Alexis Vabre (@figure8labs) October 4, 2015

30 mins into #LuciaSF and the word 'blood' has already come up at least 67 times. Oh well, I'm sure it's nothing.

Face off bw the two suitors! It's leather vs tartan. #singoff #howwehandlethingsattheopera #LuciaSF @SFOpera

— Jennifer Tomooka (@jenniwren08) October 4, 2015

Why must opera storylines be so implausible? No Scotsman would ever willingly go to France! #LuciaSF

— Karen Baumer (@phibetakitten) October 4, 2015

Despite the fact that the dress rehearsal took place during prime sports-watching time, the hashtag #LuciaSF still managed to be trending in San Francisco:
