La Cieca would like to give the cher public a little nudge in the way of a reminder that the procrastination competition will be closed at midnight tonight. So what are you waiting for? (Remember, only comments to the original posting will be considered!)
La Cieca may not at the moment comment on last night’s premiere of The Nose at the Met since Our Own JJ is working on his review of the piece today. But she wants to encourage the cher public to share their thoughts.
You’ve done it again, cher public: that is, you’ve set a new record here at parterre.com. The busy activity yesterday including the discussion of the Met’s 2010-2011 season led to the highest number of visits on a single day in parterre.com history: 5,857!
La Cieca would like to welcome back into the parterre fold some members of the cher public (in the 10023 zip code, to be specific) who went missing for the past couple of months. We rejoice that those who were lost are now found!
When La Cieca's wrong, she's wrong. She really had no idea until today that Leontyne Price and Luciano Pavarotti shared the operatic stage any time besides that one-off Aida in San Francisco. But when confronted with proof in the form of an mp3, well, she's going to be the first to admit her error. Read more »
Are you ready for a competition, cher public? Well, get ready to don your lexicographer's caps, because this one is all about the words. Read more »
A confab with our redoubtable Internets Guru Nick Scholl just now resulted in two innovations. First, for those of you who want a quick and handy way to keep up with recent comments, there is now a comments feed button in the left navigation bar just beneath the display of the most recent mots from the cher public. You can click on it to see the last 20 comments, or else subscribe to the feed and keep up that way. Read more »
On this upcoming otherwise dreary Tuesday afternoon, La Cieca hopes the cher public will all be figuratively glued to their PCs and Macs for a live web telecast of Werther from the Opéra-Bastille. Read more »
