Diva Isn’t Really Singing
Maïwenn’s captivating portrayal as Diva Plavalaguna left us all in awe. She filled in at the last minute and did an amazing job, but you might be startled to learn that those lovely tones are not actually her own voice.
The stunning, complex vocals of the Diva were really performed by Albanian operatic soprano Inva Mula, not Besson’s soon-to-be ex-wife. She sang the song “Il dolce suono” from Gaetano Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor in the Diva Dance opera.
