Feisty, independent, and sexy beyond reproach, she's her own Lean-In movement. Who else can compare to this zesty, doomed Lady of Spain. Carlisle Floyd's Susanna makes the cut, but who's seen her in the last half century? Heggie's Sister Prejean is too woke and would whine about your vaping. Don't ever make Pharaoh's daughter angry. Verdi's Aida is a runner up, but her bad choice of lover seals her doom. Strauss's Salome is psycho and way underage, and nobody wants to meet Elektra in a dark alley. Puccini's Mimi is always sick, probably a hypochondriac his Tosca is high maintenance and deadly jealous. Wagner's Brünhilde is a demi-goddess, too imperious and rather scary. There is no character in opera quite like Carmen (mezzo Carolyn Sproule).
