San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie demanded that power be restored at the city’s Opera House — so his daughter could perform as the lead role in the Nutcracker ballet as her dad’s constituents endured days of darkness just before Christmas. Lurie, the wealthy heir to the Levi Strauss jean fortune and fixture in SF’s high society set, “requested” PG&E send emergency generators to the San Francisco Opera House as the blackout blanketed huge swaths of the city, CEO Sumeet Singh said at a hearing at the Board of Supervisors — a claim a company representative later walked back, according to reports.   7 Mayor Daniel Lurie was closely involved in the call to send scarce power to the ballet, per records.
