Abstract
In Delacorta’s Diva (memorably filmed by Jean-Jacques Beneix) a teenage delivery boy falls in love with an internationally renowned operatic soprano, attends every performance he can and eventually inveigles himself into her company. Nowadays there is an exotic element in this; we would have expected the young man to be more interested in a rock star or a movie actor. But a century or so ago it would have been much more usual for someone neither rich nor old to be passionate about opera.
