La Cieca is holding auditions this week, looking for a few good reviewers of opera CDs and DVDs.  If you think are the next Irene Cara or Gene Anthony Ray of the opera critics, email [email protected] with the following details:

  • A mailing address where you can receive packages
  • Your general area of interest or expertise in opera
  • Your preferred format (CD or DVD)

La Cieca will then ship you couple of things to review, and she’ll expect a piece back from you within a week after your receipt of the package.

After the piece is published on parterre.com, we’ll see how La Cieca and the cher public like it.  The goal here is to find a couple of reviewers who will get the bulk of the new releases and will become regular contributors here for some compensation.

Questions you can ask in the comments section, or email La Cieca personally.
