Don’t wait up for La Cieca

The regularly scheduled podcast from Unnatural Acts of Opera will be delayed a bit, not really because of “technical difficulties” but rather because La Cieca is getting herself out of the house for once and attending the opera. Tonight it’s the seconda of the Met’s Lucia di Lammermoor, and your doyenne (squired by Milton Host) will be on hand to take in all the Dessayesque dementia.

Unnatural Acts of Opera will be updated tomorrow night (Friday) with a classic performance of an Italian warhorse, starring a veteran tenor who this very weekend will make his debut in a new medium. La Cieca hopes you are intrigued enough to check back here tomorrow; until then, “Verrano a te sull’aure!”
