Here is the meaning. You will have to make up your own sentence, however, as we can't do your homework for you. Both these words are foreign words that probably would not be translated into Spanish in this context.

diva

‘First lady’: term for the principal female singer in an opera cast or an opera company. The term has been used for the leading singer since the mid-17th century. Normally the prima donna is a soprano, singing the role of the heroine; but in a few operas (notable examples are Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia and Saint-Saëns's Samson et Dalila) she is a mezzo-soprano.Sometimes such expressions as ‘prima donna assoluta’ (‘absolute first lady’) are used to distinguish the prima donna from any other possible claimant to the role. The term has entered the non-musical vocabulary as an expression for anyone who behaves in an outrageously egotistical manner.

cantante=singer

soprano=soprano

protagonista=lead role

opera singer=cantante de la ópera

egotistical=vanagloriosa
