O DIVA REDEEMER
One of the first signs of potential divahood often comes in church, when a young soprano finds she has so much voice she just cannot seem to blend with the rest of her section. Give her a few solos and in no time an operatic career is born! I have only included singers below who are actually crossing back over into the world of sacred chestnuts after an operatic or concert singing career -- not included here are the many church sopranos who sang this repertoire exclusively. Visit the Home-made Divas gallery to spend a sacred moment with all those ladies who raised their voice only for the Lord.
