Various pages from Parterre Box [1993-2001], a queer opera newsletter/blog created by director James Jorden. Campy and critical opeds and interviews on operas and their singers. A summary quote in most issues: “Parterre Box is a about remembering when opera was queer and dangerous and exciting and making it that way again.” Content shifted digitally after the ceasing of this bimonthly zine, into an online blog and then a podcast.
