Joining our list of international theremin divas is Monla Mong. According to the liner notes of her album "A Dreaming Kid", she is known as "the one and only female Theremin player in Korea".
So far, I've only found one sample of her theremin playing (on the dreamy self titled track MONLA here). If you know more about her or can point us to a promo/home page, please get in touch.

According to

(entry nr.10), Monla did play the theremin live to a 1926 Japanese film at the Jeon Ju International Film Festival this year. No sound samples :-(

YES.
Still, it would be nice to hear more of her work, and see what other uses she puts the theremin to. I actually really liked some of the stuff on that website that didn't feature the theremin. I'm sure she's put the instrument to much better use in other compositions.
So, as I have just got back from the first day of a family wedding, and am still wearing my pyjama suit, the shirt of which my daughter insists in a dress, and in which I do look good, (a bit Dr No but greyer, or, with my wraparounds, aging Neo) I guess all I need do is burn one of my tracks onto a CD...
There are many international Theremin players who through their effort, perseverence, and talent may rightfully be called "diva"s.
This thread might be better-named "Up and coming thereminists" -- or something like that.
are divas made
or born?
Perhaps one goes through a baby diva, of divette phase until it all comes together in full artistry. It seems rarely is a divette also a prodigy.
