From BoardGameGeek

In The Battle of the Divas, players take on the roles of Maria Callas and Renata Tebaldi in their fight for operatic supremacy. Throughout the game, each diva will perform great operas, gain fame, and experience key moments of their career in a timeline that will shape their legacy. The objective is to earn more points than your rival, which can be achieved through different strategies: Performing iconic operas in the most prestigious theaters. Skillfully managing diva cards, which include historical events, special abilities, and key career moments. Mastering the piano and expanding your vocal range, which is essential for unlocking new musical opportunities. Managing influence over the orchestra and fame in theaters, which allows for timeline adjustments and decisive advantages. The game ends when five operas have been performed. At that point, players add up the points earned from theaters, the orchestra, the piano, and the timeline to determine who has left the most indelible mark on opera history. Will Callas' overwhelming charisma or Tebaldi's vocal perfection claim the ultimate glory? Only the stage will decide. After The Battle of Versailles, this game is the second in the "Battles without bullets" series from Salt & Pepper Games. -description from the publisher
