Prima Donna Assoluta
"It is the Queen of Sheba! The Empress of China and Czarina of Russia! It is the Queen of Spain! It is Cleopatra! It is Aida! Double the trumpets! Quadruple the fanfare! It is all the queens and  empresses at once!"
Yves Saint-Laurent

A homage to the assoluta
Maria Callas, one of the greatest dramatic and musical geniuses of the 20th Century.
