Leading female operatic star (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

prima donna

(Other definitions for prima donna that I've seen before include "lady centre stage" , "Leading lady, proverbially temperamental" , "a right madam?" , "temperamental sort" , "Very self-important person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
