La Cieca looks forward to seeing (in the virtual sense) all her cher public bright and early tomorrow morning for the webcast of the controversial production of Der Rosenkavalier from Glyndebourne. It starts at 11:30 AM EDT and naturally La Casa della Cieca will be open for brunch and chat.

More Strauss-related news follows the jump.

Our old, old, old friends at Opera Depot are celebrating the 150th birthday of dear Richard Strauss with special promotion offering 50% off on all titles by the composer, including six new releases. Offered as a freebie is a download of nine fabulous divas performing the final scene from Salome!
