Given the probable continued volume of news concerning the New York City Opera, its new General Manager, and the various melodramas thereto, La Cieca will institute a new policy starting today. A single post will serve to anchor all the NYCO news for the day, with updates as needed. This will also help to centralize discussion on this topic which has already proven itself of more than passing interest to the cher public.

For Saturday, then, we can start with a moderately scathing piece from the Dallas Morning News by Scott Cantrell, the précis of which might be “Dallas to Steel: Drop Dead.”

UPDATE: For those of you who weren’t able to peep in at the New York City Opera’s Winter Gala Thursday night, the blog Guest of a Guest offers photographic glimpses of this “classic classy New York culture night.”
