The spotlight shines on one of the world's most infamous opera stars Florence Foster Jenkins from September 19 to 29. Skip the 2016 bio-pic starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant, and book your seat at the Asian premiere of Souvenir, brought to you by Sing'Theatre.
The internationally acclaimed play features Singapore's very own Hossan Leong and Leigh McDonald. Under the wing of award-winning director Samantha Scott-Blackhall, this side-splitting play takes you back to 1964 where mediocre pianist Cosmé McMoon relives Florence Foster Jenkins' singing career in all her off-key glory. Based on a true story by English author Stephen Temperley, the performance showcases the unlikely duo's major success in the opera world, where they hold notable recitals and produced a sold-out show at New York City's Carnegie Hall. Who says you need to have exceptional singing abilities to be a sensational operatic belter?
