By La Cieca 
Krzysztof Warlikowski‘s controversial production of Don Giovanni at La Monnaie is now streaming online.
La Cieca realizes this take on the Mozart evergreen may not be to everyone’s taste, so she invites the cher public to post YouTube clips of their own faves.
James Jorden (who wrote under the names "La Cieca" and "Our Own JJ") was the founder and editor of parterre box.
