The book centers around the life of Filippo Torreforte, a young lawyer who becomes entangled in the world of opera and the dramatic lives of its stars, especially focusing on the titular prima donna, Alice Rossati. As he navigates his professional ambitions and personal desires, the story explores themes of love, ambition, class struggles, and the seductive yet perilous nature of the theatrical world. The opening of the novel introduces Filippo Torreforte as he reflects on his life and ambitions following a long day of legal work. We witness his aspirations to revive his family's fortune and honor while grappling with a sense of longing for a more vibrant existence. With the arrival of spring, he feels a stirring within him that contrasts sharply with his disciplined life. The narrative takes a significant turn when he decides to attend a performance featuring Alice Rossati, a prominent singer, hinting at the transformative impact she will have on his life. The foundation for a complex relationship between Filippo and Alice is laid, with a blend of admiration, desire, and impending conflict surrounding their interactions.
