When she heard the name "Salome" called out in such a blase manner from the balcony followed by a pointed finger in her direction, the primadonna's once unshakable heart dropped. Give her Donna Anna, perhaps her foil Donna Elvira, give her Mimi for the hundredth time or Carmen or even Rosina despite always claiming that role was beneath her repertoire.
Never give her Salome. Not in these times.
