blog advertising is good for you

it’s a boy (but you knew that)

Congratulations to proud papa Erwin Schrott, whose 7 pound, 13 ounce boy TBA Tiago Aura Arua Schrott was born today in Vienna. La Cieca extends her best wishes as well to Anna Netrebko, though she hopes the couple will not allow any cigar smoking in the presence of The Schrott Tot. (“Tiago,” La Cieca is informed, is a Portuguese form of the name “Santiago.)

And so, until January and the return of “la taille fine!”

  • Dr. Lehar says:

    I’m imagining interesting mixtures of Russian and Spanish names. Or maybe generic Eurocool names like Mario or Serge…

  • Hagenschmagen says:

    I wonder who the godparents will be…Renee and Rolando?

  • Constantine A. Papas says:

    I bet, the baby will be given a Christian name and will be baptized in a Russian Orthodox Church. Imagine, Netrebko and Schrott singing together “happy birthday” in a year from now. BTW, the clip was good, but what and how much do I know about singing?

  • il lacerato spirito says:

    Until I saw the “bump” I was thinking what a remarkable recovery Anna has made. Then it dawned on me that she had the baby a couple of days ago and this was pre “bambino”. In any case Bonne Chance to both of them and the baby!!!!!

    Well they may not be from Alaska but one of them is from a country that Sarah Palin has seen from Alaska.
