520    The past eight years have seen the renaissance of the Diva,
       with the rise to prominence of a number of female singers 
       who are capable of drawing mass audiences as well as 
       delivering performances to rival those of the stars of the
       past. The divas analyze their roles, both vocally and 
       dramatically, discuss choices in repertoire and reflect on
       their lives and careers. Matheopoulos interweaves her 
       narrative with insightful and critical commentary, and 
       peppers her profiles with remarks from conductors, 
       directors, voice teachers, coaches and, on occasion, 
       famous colleagues from the past. She also highlights 
       changes in the opera scene, including the appearance in 
       recent years of many talented Russian singers and the 
       prominence of American-born divas during the last decade.
