Souvenir - A Fantasia
on the life
of
Florence Foster Jenkins
Florence Foster Jenkins, a wealthy society
eccentric suffered under the delusion that
she was a great coloratura soprano when
she was in fact incapable of producing two
consecutive notes in tune. Nevertheless,
her annual recitals in the ballroom of
The Ritz- Carlton hotel, where she resided,
brought her extraordinary fame. As news
of her terrible singing spread, so did her celebrity.
