The Fifth Element “Diva Dance“ - Opera Voice Coach REACTS and COMPARES performances

Join Elizabeth Zharoff, voice coach and opera singer, as we analyze and compare singers attempting the “unsingable” Diva Dance from the Fifth Element. Originally sung by Albanian coloratura soprano, Inva Mula, the blue alien opera scene is legendary not only because it sounds totally dope, but because it is so difficult to sing. In fact, Eric Serra (the composer of the funky 2nd half) didn’t intend for it to ever be sung - but that won’t deter an ambitious high soprano. Did you know that the first half comes from standard operatic literature? It is excerpted from Lucia di Lammermoor, by Donizetti. In this scene, the title character has gone completely bonkers… which is why it’s nicknamed “Lucia’s Mad Scene.” All of the performances for this video were reported as live, non-enhanced performances, in the original key.
