More often than not, the name they request is Florence Foster Jenkins, an American socialite who only appeared at the legendary venue once, and couldn’t hold a note. “In order for a singer to suc- ceed, they need to have a combination of talent, charisma, and interpretive quality,” Carnegie’s archives director Gino Francesconi wrote in a blogpost commemorating her life. “And, by definition, they need to be able to sing. Florence Foster Jenkins had none of these attributes. In fact, she was considered one of the worst singers of all time.” Jenkins, who craved fame as a diva but gained infamy for her terrible voice, is the subject of “Florence Foster Jenkins,” a bittersweet biopic which hits US theaters this week, starring three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant. “She almost gets it, and that’s what I found delicious in her,” Streep told the audience at a preview screening for the Paramount picture in Beverly Hills last week. “I started listening to the recordings and I could feel her This image released by Disney shows Oakes Fegley in a scene from “Pete’s Dragon.”— AP getting really excited and her thinking ‘This is going very well,’” said the actress.

  • Two Theatres Creating a Most Extraordinary Souvenir
    Saturday, June 28, 2008 A Media Theatre production at the Wilma Theatre, Philadelphia, PA The tragicomedy of only listening to one's inner voice: Two theatres creating a most extraordinary Souvenir Beethoven lost his hearing and went completely deaf; yet, he composed some of the world's greatest music. Philadelphia socialite Florence Foster Jenkins (1868–1944) was born tone-deaf, unable to discriminate between different musical notes or reproduce them accurately with her voice. However, she loved classical music and wanted to share the best arias of "Mr. Verdi" and "Mr. Mozart," first with her friends, and later with an ever-growing number of people. Her fame—or notoriety—not only filled Carnegie Hall during WWII, but over 2000 people were left standing outside, unable to get tickets for an event that sold out quicker than any other concert in that venue's history. She apparently did not realize that the reason for her success was not the beauty of her voice or the elegance of her many outfits—a new one for each song—but her missing and mangling every single note by between a quarter or a half a tone, mistakes which had the audiences shrieking with laughter and sometimes running out of the hall. She interpreted the handkerchiefs held in front of the spectators' faces as proof that she had moved them to tears, not realizing that they were instead covering their mouths, gaping open with laughter. Stephen Temperley wrote the book and original lyrics and music for Souvenir, one of the most unusual musicals I have ever seen as it demands that a highly trained singer hit the wrong notes for an entire evening—a tremendous vocal and artistic feat.

  • “Can't Help Singing”: the “Modern” Opera Diva In
    “CAN’T HELP SINGING”: THE “MODERN” OPERA DIVA IN HOLLYWOOD FILM, 1930–1950 Gina Bombola A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Tim Carter Mark Katz Chérie Rivers Ndaliko Jocelyn Neal ©2017 Gina Bombola ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Gina Bombola: “Can’t Help Singing”: The “Modern” Opera Diva in Hollywood Film, 1930–1950 (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) Following the release of Columbia Pictures’ surprise smash hit, One Night of Love (1934), major Hollywood studios sought to cash in on the public’s burgeoning interest in films featuring opera singers. For a brief period thereafter, renowned Metropolitan Opera artists such as Grace Moore and Lily Pons fared well at the box office, bringing “elite” musical culture to general audiences for a relatively inexpensive price. By the 1940s, however, the studios began grooming their own operatic actresses instead of transplanting celebrities from the stage. Stars such as Deanna Durbin, Kathryn Grayson, and Jane Powell thereby became ambassadors of opera from the highly commercial studio lot. My dissertation traces the shifts in film production and marketing of operatic singers in association with the rise of such cultural phenomena as the music-appreciation movement, all contextualized within the changing social and political landscapes of the United States spanning the Great Depression to the Cold War. Drawing on a variety of methodologies—including, among others, archival research, film analysis, feminist criticisms, and social theory—I argue that Hollywood framed opera as less of a European theatrical art performed in elite venues and more of a democratic, albeit still white, musical tradition that could be sung by talented individuals in any location.

FFJ was a wealthy American socialite who loved music. She considered herself to be a talented operatic singer, but she was an awful one.
