Our salute to our stupendous advertisers is a bit late this month, cher public, but the delay allows La Cieca (pictured) to include her kudos to one of our most faithful benefactors: Lincoln Center, currently promoting the annual Mostly Mozart Festival. They join on the site longtime backers Bard Summerscape and the Bayerische Staatsoper.
And now a word from our sponsor
