In the opera the saying usually goes something akin to “it’s not over ’till the fat lady sings”. Muicca Prada is hell-bent on changing that mentality, going as far as having curvy women re-cast for the production of “Attila” which she is designing wardrobe for.

Since Prada has stated clearly she ‘cannot clothe’ the larger ladies, they are now on the hunt for girls with model figures for extras. The Metropolitan Opera has stated she has full creative control, and are fully supporting her stance on the matter.

They’re reportedly in quite a financial mire, so they’re probably not loathing the press attention the opera house is getting, even if it’s not particularly friendly to most people.
