How deep is your throat?

La Cieca
Now (as always) La Cieca is on the prowl for tips on opera-related gossip. We’re talking future casting, hirings and firings, onstage and backstage misbehavior, random acts of charity, deliberate acts of skulduggery, and, well, all those wonderful things that make opera seem like it belongs in the same world with Lindsay Lohan.
In order to encourage her cher public to sing like so many beautiful little stool pigeons, La Cieca will offer the following inducements: for the best tip of the week, a CD of “La Cieca’s Greatest Hits;” and for the bestest tip of the month, an historical opera DVD.
Excited? Well, you should be. Send those tips to [email protected], and keep reading the box!
