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.

Cher public, La Cieca would like to call your attention to the latest innovation by our webmeister Nick Scholl: threaded comments.

(Though doubtless some of you will still feel the emotional need to continue to do so.) Read more »

Your doyenne modestly would like to introduce the lastest of her far-flung business empire, a mini-store at amazon.com called La Cieca’s Little Shop of Arias. She suggests you bookmark this site as a convenient one-stop location for all the latest opera CDs, DVDs and other regalia. As with the various other amazon advertising here on the site, La Cieca will receive a commission on each and every purchase you make at her Little Shop.
