Divas are now extinct but the prima donna, under pressure from the media and technology, is putting up a good fight. Both are tall, though Selim has the edge here, she's slightly taller and sings higher than Farouk, who has the greater power and authority. Each has her own camp-following. The role used to be the property of Sutherland and Mirella Freni, so the two baby divas are treading deep water. They are both young, but caution is about the only thing to warn them against.
New voices come and go.
There is nothing left but to join the herd of wobbling, tarnished voice merchandise. No record company records tired young voices. It avoids the kind of gimmicks, tricks or upfront frolics which end in tedium. Notes and music come first and both are respected. The thin story, painfully trite, is treated tactfully.
