Re: Examples of Primadonna behaviour please

Hello, we are looking for entertaining stories of real opera
"primadonna" type behaviour, to lighten the mood in one of our
concerts. 

Can you help by posting your favourite  stories ?   For our purposes
they don't have to be female singers !

Well there's the (IMO) classic example of the tenor who was so miffed at his Carmen that he walked offstage in the last act, leaving her to die (or commit suicide?) without Don Jose's assistance. (It's supposedly a true tale, and the tenor involved reputed to be David Poleri, but I wasn't there, so can't vouch for its authenticity.)


Thanks
