 d daring persona. \n\n Educated along with boys in her childhood\, she exc

 g and giving fencing demonstrations in taverns after running away from hom
 e. She's reputed to have duelled three noblemen (and won) in one night\, a
 nd burned down a convent to run away with a nun she'd fallen in love with.
  She then rose to become one of the premier stars of the Lully revival on 
 the Paris operatic stage\, and originated roles like Clorinde in Campra's 
 Tancrède\, and the Magician in Desmarets' Didon. \n\n Join mezzo-soprano
