| The Italian star had been admired, drooled over and hyped for a decade, turning into one of the world's most famous divas in the process. |
| This is the story of Emma Albani, a woman from Chambly, Quebec who rose to become one of the late 19th century's greatest opera divas. |
| The rivalry came to a boiling point when the dueling divas finished the evening with an exhaustive dance-off. |
| And with a soprano taking the role, rather than a mezzo-soprano, for once the two divas were equals in their fireworks. |
| The piece may surprise those who associate opera with fat divas in crinolines. |
| As our two heroes attempt to avoid capture they get themselves involved in the backstage and on-stage lives of showgirls, divas and more. |
