Leyla Gencer was known and admired internationally as 'the Turkish diva', thanks to a powerful voice that both inspired and enthralled in equal measure. And she spent most of her life as the ultimate primadonna of Italy's foremost opera house La Scala Theatre. Gencer died in 2008, and a decade on, Istanbul is hosting a special archive exhibition in her honour. Showcase's Miranda Atty has more.
