Default What's with operatic singers? Or is it just my luck?

I've had to record this female operatic singer a couple times and
she always gives me trouble. See, I like to get the mic about a
foot off the singer but she says "I don't like to have the mic that
close" and she insists it be back about 3 or 4 feet.
My thought at the time is: you do the singing, I'll do the recording.
But I've just seen mention of this same thing happening to someone
else when dealing with an operatic singer.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else has come across this?
Is it something about operatic singers? Just trying to understand
why they don't want to be close miked.
