To Do: Free opera on Saturday

The San Francisco Opera is hosting a free simulacast of Madame Butterfly on Saturday night. It’s opening night for their summer season. It’s not as fun as getting dressed up for the real opening night, but it is certainly much cheaper. There is something very “bohemian” about watching from outside the opera house! Bring a low chair, a bottle of wine and a warm coat!

Update: Is the Civic Center not your scene? You can also check out a free selection of opera at Yerba Buena Park on Sunday at 2:00.
