La Cieca hears vague rumors from here and there that there something major is going to happen with New York CIty Opera this week, possibly as early as today. According to an insider over the weekend “wagons [were] circling,” perhaps in reaction to the admission that the company has spent down over 2/3 of its endowment in past months to cover last season’s debts and current operating expenses.

In the meantime, tickets for the fall 2009 season are not yet on sale.
