Best Answer

The leading female singer is called a Prima Donna.

The leading male singer is called a Prima Divo.

Wrong. "Prima" is the word for "first", but it's in the feminine form.

"Prima donna" means first lady. "Primo huomo" means first man.

In the modern era (today) simply "female lead". in 18th and 19th centuries she would be callled "Prima Donna" (First Lady) taking this a step further a "Prima Donna assoluta" would be ahead of all the rest of the female singers. The only ones to be accorded that title in modern times are Maria Calla and Dame Joan Sutherland.

Diva and also Prima Donna. Both have acquired slang meanings akin to (Big shot) or overblown and egotistical female celebrity.
