Do you have what it takes?
La Cieca is holding auditions this week, looking for a few good reviewers of opera CDs and DVDs. If you think are the next Irene Cara or Gene Anthony Ray of the opera critics, email lacieca@parterre.com with the following details:
- A mailing address where you can receive packages
- Your general area of interest or expertise in opera
- Your preferred format (CD or DVD)
La Cieca will then ship you couple of things to review, and she’ll expect a piece back from you within a week after your receipt of the package.
After the piece is published on parterre.com, we’ll see how La Cieca and the cher public like it. The goal here is to find a couple of reviewers who will get the bulk of the new releases and will become regular contributors here for some compensation.
Questions you can ask in the comments section, or email La Cieca personally.
Hey, Cieca, Bernard Holland has some time on his hands…
What? we won’t have to submit headshots or application videos? Next you’re telling me that there is no casting couch!
cara cieca, can you please see to it that the lucky winners have some actual musical training? i’ve worked for newspapers for a long time, and you’d be stunned at how many reviewers don’t know the repertoire, can’t play an instrument and — in at least one case known to me — can’t read a score. (how do they get their jobs? answer: they’re hired by editors who know nothing about classical music.)
is the other side of the atlantic a plausible mailing adress??
Oh Squirrel would like to take a crack at this!!
