When you thinking opera, who doesn't think of the fat woman with Viking horns? What about with Shakespeare? Did anyone start quoting Juliet's most popular line, "Oh Romeo, oh Romeo. Where for art thou, Romeo?", where she talks of her love for him alone atop a balcony? All these little clichés we associate with the arts, from ginormous divas to the smile of one Mona Lisa. But why all women? This is my project to explore this topic on a deeper level as I, too, am a women of the arts.

Cecilia Bartoli - Mozart - Nozze di Figaro - Voi che sapete
This is a successful woman, a mezzo-soprano, who makes bank. In the Opera World, everybody knows her! Not only is she successful, but she is the size of an average woman and look!- no viking hat in sight. She is an opera icon and a pleasure to listen too.
