"It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings."
Where does that quote come from, and what is the origin of the monstrous Valkyrie image when it comes to opera cliches?
Why do bodies matter in opera - and in theater at large - in a particular way? Of what bodies do we speak, and why is it "the fat lady" and not "the fat guy"? Do voices have a body? How do we talk about sound and what happens to our bodies when we listen to music?
