Your doyenne is back, cher public, and she missed you more than she can say. Thanks to so many of you who sent messages of support!
“As the East Village gentrifed over the past decade, gone are the punk-rock club, the dive bar, the crack den . . . the opera house.” Our Own JJ marks the finale of Amato Opera. [NYP]

La Cieca is sorry, sorry, sorry about the downtime on parterre.com. The hosting company blames wordpress, and wordpress blames the host, and La Cieca is very rattled right now. If you can hook La Cieca up with someone who knows about PHP and SQL databases, please email her at lacieca@parterre.com . Thanks, folks.
Those tiny Czech flags served as red flags for the keen-eyed public, several of whom correctly surmised that last week’s Regie quiz was a production of Prodana nevesta.

La Cieca’s trying a new look for parterre.com, since she must confess that the light-on-dark format was beginning to get a little wearing on her aging eyes. Comments? Suggestions?
