Η πιο φάλτσα σοπράνο που πέρασε από τη γη

An enjoyable blend of humour, emotion, and music that celebrates the resilient human spirit and the power of hope, while honouring the indomitable spirit of individuals who refuse to let obstacles hold them back.

The work tells the true story of cosmopolitan New Yorker Florence Foster Jenkins, a woman defined by artistic ambition and delusion alike. An entirely ‘out of tune’ soprano, she insists on singing because her passion for music is so intense that she overcomes all obstacles. After all, “art cannot be governed by reflection and prudence, but must come from the heart,” as she claims to justify her obsession with performing works from the classical repertoire, mainly Mozart. She sings instinctively, and not a single note coming out in tune from her mouth. She manages to distort the score in such a way that her interpretations evoke both laughter and tears. She lives in her own little world, convinced of her musical abilities and believing that all the negative comments are nothing but malice against her. Thus, the ‘diva of noise’ with the beautiful soul, unwavering determination and belief in achieving her dreams, gradually transforms from a sideshow into a phenomenon of her time.

A genuine comedy of high artistic quality, Nastazia Christodoulou’s directorial debut features a cast of virtuoso actors and a dynamic team of creatives, with Christiana Artemiou playing the lead.
