Souvenir: A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins

Real-life eccentric heiress Florence Foster Jenkins fancied herself a coloratura soprano — but the exact opposite was true! Despite being called “majestically awful,” her concerts in the 1930s and ’40s, including a legendary appearance at Carnegie Hall, were not only sold-out but were attended by the creme de la creme of Manhattan society. Told affectionately through the eyes of her longtime accompanist Cosme McMoon, Souvenir is the sweet and inspiring, and yes, hilarious, portrait of a passionate music lover who believed that “what matters most is the music you hear in your head.”
