La Cieca (not pictured) hears that director Daniel Moshel and the team that created the celebrated online sensation MeTube have launched a new project, and they need your help.
“Imagine a flashmob that is the love child of Opera, Pulp Fiction and Grumpy Cat,” Moshel challenges us.
You can learn more about the latex-swathed project on its Indiegogo page. James Jorden (who wrote under the names "La Cieca" and "Our Own JJ") was the founder and editor of parterre box. During his 20 year career as an opera critic he wrote for the New York Times, Opera, Gay City News, Opera Now, Musical America and the New York Post. He also raised his voice in punditry on National Public Radio. From time to time he directed opera, including three unsuccessful productions of Don Giovanni. He also contributed a regular column on opera for the New York Observer. James died in October 2023.
