What Fat Lady?

I would like to take a moment of your time to be a bit less refined and admire opera for qualities rarely discussed.

When considering the average opera singer, most in the general public think of the classic scary woman, spear in hand, wearing a horned helmet and pigtails. Hopefully these will help put that image to rest.

Enjoy! (And you’re welcome.)
