Prima Donna is a 1959 TV play broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It was an adaptation of an opera by Arthur Benjamin and was directed by Alan Burke. It was the first of several operas Burke would direct.[1]

The play went for one hour and Burke only had nine hours of rehearsal.[2]

Marie Tysoe later recalled:

That was conducted by Joseph Post. This was done live and we had a lot of trouble to see the conductor and also to please the producer with the camera positions. The orchestra was in the studio as well. It was easy to get out of sync if we did not see the conductor. It was very crowded in the studio.[3]
