I think the whole point of putting on a production like. Is so that the audience can bask in the glory of a diva and worship her 'til night is done. In fact, I. That the only point of showing a rarely seen diva-mobile is to show off an opera house's most venerated soprano. But how foolish of me! She looked glorious in the two Christian Lacroix.
