All unrepentant haters of moral and arrogant to the very notion of God. The women who make us think twice about the "fairer sex" are self-possessed like Manon, ambitious like Lady MacBeth and murderously seductive like Carmen.

Join us to look at some of the best of the worst characteres from grand operas.

Created by composers such as Mozart, Verdi, Bizet, Puccini and others.
