The opera blog Parterre Box is looking for critics to cover The Met’s gala opening night, critics (” “) not necessarily employed by a newspapers, and perhaps all the more critical!
La Cieca is looking for a member of the cher public who is already
planning to attend the opening night gala at the Met and is willing to
write about it for parterre.com. Your doyenne will need 400 – 600 words
by 11 AM on Tuesday, September 23 for publication that day with your
byline. If you are willing to commit to getting in a review of the
night’s festivities by this deadline, contact lacieca@parterre.com.
Preference will be given to regular commenters, and attendance at the
“La Voce Renée Fleming” launch party is a definite plus, but not
required.
The site is also looking for people-on-the-ground to cover the HD simulcast and the Sirius satellite radio broadcast of the opening night. More good play-within-a-play journalism stuff: regular people reporting on the multiple forms of event media coverage on a blog. ((boom))
Perhaps crowdsourcing will save the day when all the critics disappear.
