Prima Donna



probably Italian - prima donne - first lady or woman
Well a soloist in ballet usually a prinicpal dancer, but just because she is a soloist does not always mean she has to be a principal.



I would go with prima donna
Originally used in opera companies, "prima donna" is Italian for "first lady". The term was used to designate the leading female singer in the opera company, the person to whom the prime roles would be given. The prima donna was normally, but not necessarily, a soprano. The corresponding term for the male lead (almost always a tenor) is "primo uomo".



Legendarily, these "prima donnas" were often regarded as egotistical, unreasonable and irritable, with a rather high opinion of themselves, not shared by others. Although whether they are truly vainer or more hot-tempered than other singers (or than any other people in the opera houses) is highly debatable, nowadays the term often signifies a vain, obnoxious and temperamental person who, although irritating, cannot be done without.
A leading lady in opera can be a diva or a prima donna...the lead dancer in ballet can be called the prima ballerina...word for that person ...prig, snit, hoipolloi,peacock
Diva



Which is musicianese for controlling, conceited ******.
