Six programmes about the history of singing opera for a living, written and presented by John Rosselli. 3: Arrival of the Prima Donna
For centuries, women who appeared on the operatic stage were considered little better than whores - was this generalisation unfair?

Spontini's three-act opera, first staged in 1807, about the forbidden love between a vestal virgin and a victorious Roman general, set in 296 BC. Tonight's performance, sung in French, opened this year's season at La Scala, Milan, earlier this month.
Between the acts, Rodney Milnes talks about the production.
