Prima Donna

Prima Donna showcases a unique blend of opera and film, with a special performance staged by Rufus Wainwright. The film was shot at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens and features Cindy Sherman in the lead role, portraying an aging soprano. Sherman's performance takes place against the iconic backdrop of the Théâtre des Variétés in Paris, emphasizing the opera's dramatic themes.

Costumes worn by Sherman were originally donned by the legendary soprano Maria Callas, adding a layer of historical significance to the production. The film not only captures the essence of Wainwright's opera but also highlights the interplay between contemporary art and classic performance traditions. This combination makes it a noteworthy piece for collectors interested in modern interpretations of opera and performance art.
