This documentary examines the enigma and the woman behind this aural assault on the public. Taking on the challenge of portraying the flamboyant ‘queen of dissonance’ is opera superstar Joyce DiDonato in her cinematic debut. From the 1920’s onwards Foster Jenkins’ performances drew huge crowds who listened to singing that was so awful it was compelling.
