Souvenir - The true life of Florence Foster Jenkins

The diva of dissonance!
The biography of Florence Foster Jenkins is so extraordinary that it could be a fiction in every detail. But her life happened exactly as Stephen Temperley tells it in his Broadway hit SOUVENIR.
In the 1940s, Florence Foster Jenkins, a wealthy American heiress, not only passionately enjoyed singing the classics of opera literature to a torn New York audience, she also sang them wrong, to the point of pity! But criticism and doubt could not shake Florence. What began with small soirées ended with a legendary concert in the sold-out and raving Carnegie Hall. Far removed from all musical conventions, she let nothing and no one deter her from her infinite love of music. Today's superstars can only dream of her impact and career. Her recordings still enjoy cult status.
With Kathryn Magestro and Gilead Mishory. Directed by Leopold Kern and Martin Schurr. Stage and video Herbert Wolfgang.
