SOUVENIR
A fantasia on the life of Florence Foster Jenkins' By STEPHEN TEMPERLEY
May 1 - 11, 2008 7:30PM
For more than half a century the name Florence Foster Jenkins has been guaranteed to produce explosions of derisive laughter. A wealthy society eccentric, she suffered under the delusion that she was a great coloratura soprano when she was in fact incapable of producing two consecutive notes in tune. Nevertheless, her annual recitals in the ballroom of the Ritz Carlton hotel, brought her extraordinary fame. As news of her terrible singing spread, so did her celebrity, playing to packed recitals, with fans stuffing handkerchiefs in their mouths to stifle their laughter?which Mrs. Jenkins blissfully mistook for tears of emotion. Her accompanist, Cosme McMoon. regards her at first as little more than an easy way to pay the rent, but, as he gets to know her, his initial contempt gives way to reluctant admiration, then friendship and affection. The climax of her career was a single concert at Carnegie Hall in 1944. Famously, it sold out in two hours.
