La Cieca is happy to announce that voting season has begun for the 2010 first annual parterre box awards for excellence and repugnance in operatic production and performance during the 2009-2010 season.

And now, here’s your chance to choose among this year’s nominees for the “Lorgnette d’Or.”

Please vote for one nominee in each category.

Until then, vote early and often!
