Wags will tongue

listeners

Members of the cher public (pictured) will, La Cieca hopes, be happy to hear that the annual Opening Night Chat will transpire here at parterre.com once more on September 21. Discussion of the Met’s Tosca and (more to the point) whether Margaret Juntwait will be able to corral Blythe Danner into another gabfest will begin at 6:00 pm and continue through the evening.

Further listening may be planned by consulting the Met’s website, where the daily calendar has been updated with the Sirius/XM schedule through December.

Un petit oiseau (dans la charmille) has just whispered to La Cieca that mythic diva Madame Vera Galupe-Borszkh will emerge briefly from semi-retirement on Halloween night as a surprise guest during the Sirius broadcast of La traviata from the Met.  To avoid any confusion, La Cieca should note that “La Dementia” will not be singing the role of Violetta that evening (Anja Harteros will perform as usual), but the Ukrainian Nightingale will grace the broadcast booth for an interview with Margaret Juntwait.  The yakking will begin at approximately 10:00 pm EDT during the second intermission of the Verdi tearjerker.
