Those of you who have been wondering why the announcement of the New York City Opera’s 2011-2012 seems to be almost a month overdue may not take much consolation in the rumor La Cieca has just heard. According to a reliable source, the company will “probably” not offer a fall season (“due to no money, of course”), concentrating on pulling things together for a brief spring festival.

Expect an announcement—of some sort—from NYCO by week’s end.
