It’s just a little over a month until “The Season” starts here in New York — though La Cieca hears that there is opera done elsewhere and she hopes someone will keep her up to date on this trend — but, anyway, what with the Season starting and the glittering crowds and shimmering clouds in canyons of steel and all that, your doyenne thought maybe she should start getting something organized as to an “official” parterre reaction to each of the Big Opening Nights.

Now, here’s the thing. Most places presenting opera in New York do not at this point offer review tickets to parterre.com. This is particularly true of the Met, and La Cieca knows how you all do like your Met coverage. So what she’s proposing is: if you’re planning to attend a performance anyway, and you think you would like to write about it for parterre, drop la cieca an email and let her know the dates you’re attending and any particular angle you might want to take with a review.

This way, La Cieca thinks, we can get some new blood up on the masthead, in the nonviolent sense I mean, and keep the discussion going even when your doyenne must recuse herself due to JJ’s journalistic commitments.

Start pitching, cher public!
